Brands, designers and retailers honoured at annual event.
The winners of the UK Jewellery Awards were announced last night at an event at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, with 16 awards given out at the annual industry event.
An independent panel of judges helped judge the competition this year, with one describing the finalists as “a fantastic reflection of the multitude of talent and skill in the trade.”
The range of winners was vast and varied, representing British-based talent. While a number of companies were repeat winners, many new names appeared in the finalists list this year, with a surprise winner in the Jewellery Designer of the Year category in the form of Danila Tarcinale, who beat off competition including Fei Liu, Jessica de Lotz and Leyla Abdollahi.
