The award for ‘the most innovative use of CAD in jewellery design’ will be made during part one of the exhibition, which will take place at the Business Design Centre in Islington from 26 to 29 June, showcasing the work of over 3,000 of the most talented, newly-graduated designers from the UK’s leading universities over two separate weeks.
“Our industry is only as good as the new talent coming into it and as a company we are keen to foster this in every way we can. We have based our award on computer aided design as this is now central to both large and small scale jewellery production and is a key skill for those looking to make their way in our industry,” explained Weston Beamor’s head of business development, Glen Day.
The company has invited the well-known jewellery designer Alex Monroe; the contemporary jewellery retailer Helen Dimmick of Green + Benz; and Lindsey Straughton of the British Jewellers’ Association to act as judges in the competition.
The award will be made at a VIP event to be held at the exhibition on the evening of 26 June, and the winning designer is set to receive a week of work experience with the company and £1,000 in cash.
