New York—Jewelers of America held the judging for its 29th annual CASE Awards for jewelry design a few weeks ago, and the winners have been announced.

A panel of judges selected first and second place winners from 54 entries from retail members in four retail pricing categories: Jewelry to $2,000; $2,001 to $5,000; $5,001 to $10,000; and $10,001 and over.
The judges were National Jeweler’s Brecken Branstrator; Amy Elliott, JCK contributor and All That Glitters columnist; Deirdre Featherstone of Featherstone Design; Jewelers of America’s Amanda Gizzi; JB Jones, co-founder of NYC Jewelry Week; Erica Silverglide of GemologyGeek; and Maria Tsangaropoulos, GIA Jewelry Manufacturing Arts instructor.
They evaluated each pieced based on overall design, marketability, practicality/wearability and quality of manufacture.
