New York–The “Eco-Chic Jeweler Awards,” a new awards program to honor green-minded exhibitors, will be held at the upcoming JA New York Winter Show, taking place Feb. 28-March 2 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
Intended to give recognition to designers and manufacturers whose work reflects environmentally conscious materials or processes–and also holds overall design aesthetic and appeal–the program will honor three winning pieces. The winners will be selected in the following three categories: eco-friendly bridal, green innovation and ethical luxury.
The bridal category award will be given to the designer or manufacturer deemed to have the best “green” bridal design. Entries may include women’s engagement rings and men’s and women’s wedding bands.
The green innovation category will focus on applicants’ use of sustainable materials and techniques, and a winner will be chosen for having the most innovative green design and new ideas.
Finally, the ethical luxury award will be presented to the most over-the-top, eco-friendly design, which demonstrates that fine jewelry can be luxurious as well as ethical and eco-minded.
The three winning pieces will be displayed at the JA New York Winter Show’s New Product Gallery.
The Eco-Chic Jeweler Awards join a number of additional JA New York Show programs and areas at the Javits Center in New York City, including the Designer Showcase and designLAB, intended to highlight innovative and exciting designers.
