2019 Entries

We've displayed both the original entry and the finished pieces. In 2019 for our kick-off year, we had 9 finalists and made all of their designs in sterling silver (The grand prize winner's was made in 14k gold). You can see that some modifications had to be made in the jewelry from the original design. It's helpful to keep in mind that jewelry is small. If you draw it large and have a lot of tiny details, those tiny details have to be that much smaller once scaled down and actually made into jewelry. If the tiny details are too fragile, they have to be omitted or incorporated in some other way. ​

(The leaf design was moved to the sides of the ring, because they were too fragile to stick out.)
