Categories:
Gemstones
The stone’s the star! Do you have a beautiful idea for setting, carving, or otherwise highlighting a gorgeous gemstone (or stones)? We’re focusing on gemstones and gemstone jewelry in this category. Your show-stopping gemstone jewelry doesn’t have to break the bank using precious gemstones. We also love to see you boosting your skills by highlighting stones such as agates, jaspers, opals, and more! Thank you to our sponsor:

Metalsmithing
Combine brass, copper, silver, and other materials to create distinctive, intentional adornment. Flex your creativity with jewelry that takes full advantage of traditional and contemporary metalsmithing techniques to tell your story. Layer hot and/or cold connections to build your personal talisman. Recycled metal and reused materials, ethically sourced gems, found objects, and green practices are encouraged but not required. Thank you to our sponsor.

Sterling Silver
Show us your best work in sterling silver jewelry. From wirework, fabrication, piercing, engraving, texturing, and all techniques in-between, we want to see what you can do with sterling silver wire and sheet as the primary materials. Are you a polishing pro? Or a patina master? Share a favorite work or use this category as an incentive to make something new. Thank you to our sponsor.
