Welcome to the Professional Jeweller Hot 100

 

Professional Jeweller & professionaljeweller.com have established themselves at the heart of the UK jewellery and watch industry, with over 30,000 people visiting the web site every month and reading the magazine. It is enormously enjoyable to work with the creative and talented business owners, executives, designers and other professionals that make up this rich and fashionable industry.

 

We feel there is much to celebrate this year, so to honour the industry that we all adore, we are throwing a party on September 7 where we will recognise the leaders of the jewellery and watch trade in the inaugural Professional Jeweller Hot 100.

 

Nominate

 

The Professional Jeweller Hot 100 is more than a simple party, and a great deal more fun than a formal awards dinner. It is an event built around the 100 people that have shaped the industry this year, and attended by 1000 of the jewellery and watch market’s most infl uential players.

 

In the launch year, we will be inducting the fi rst 100 people into the exclusive Hot 100 club, but over the years we look forward to adding hundreds more into a list that will be recognised as the Hollywood Walk of Fame for jewellery and watch professionals.

 

The Hot 100 is made up of six groups of industry stars:

 

  • Trendsetters: Jewellery and watch designers that have inspired theindustry in 2010.
  • Retail Stars: Front line jewellers that have demonstrated world class retailing skills this year.
  • Winning Teams: Families, husbands and wives and partners that have driven businesses to extraordinary success.
  • Business Big Shots: The industry’s greatest bosses.
  • Celebrity Supporters: Stars who bring the glamour of jewellery and watches and celebrity to life.
  • NexGems: A celebration of fresh, upcoming jewellery designers with less than three years’ commercial experience

 

For three months prior to the September event, Professional Jeweller and rofessionaljeweller.com will be canvassing the opinions of all our readers and partners in order to build up short lists of candidates for the inaugural Hot 100.

 

Some categories will be judged by an expert panel of jewellery and watch professionals, others will be voted on by readers at professionaljeweller.com.

 

The final Hot 100 will be interviewed and photographed by the Professional Jeweller team, with each of them featured in stunning personal profi les in a commemorative Hot 100 book that will be released on the night of the party, and circulated to all 5000 subscribers of Professional Jeweller magazine.

 

The glamorous Hot 100 party will be photographed and fi lmed on the night, with all the pictures and video clips used in a celebratory web site within Professionaljeweller.com and in print in Professional Jeweller magazine.

 

The build up to the Professional Jeweller Hot 100 starts now, and continues right through to October – giving almost six months positive branding with this most glamorous event for its sponsors and advertisers.

 

There are many ways to associate your business with the exclusive Professional Jeweller Hot 100: from advertising in the stunning Hot 100 book and web site, to grabbing one of the headline sponsorship packages that deliver incredible branding and promotion throughout the build-up, the big night, and the post-event coverage.
