About the Awards
The Design Innovation Award was set up six years ago to recognise and reward outstanding design in platinum. On a more general level, the competition aims to push the design standards of all contemporary jewellery to greater heights.
There are eight winners in 2008 - four in the Emerging Designer category and four in the Established Designer group. See 2008 winners gallery for further information.
