SLGJA jewellery design competition

A jewellery design competition, with the intention of bringing Sri Lanka’s talent together, has been announced by the Sri Lanka Gem and Jewellery Association. The following is the text of statement issued by the association: “Open to all existing and aspiring jewellery designers, the competition aims to encourage talented and creative individuals to get more involved with the jewellery sector.

The theme of this year’s competition is “Celebrate Sri Lanka”. Designs can be inspired by all things wonderful our Paradise Island has to offer, from its deep-rooted history, unique and vibrant culture, stunning natural attractions, sprawling beaches to its rich wildlife and rainforests. Capturing the essence of this beautiful island through design is the key. Jewellery designs should be in keeping with current global trends, as well as it being something a modern-day buyer would invest in.

A total of 10 designs will be shortlisted and selected, with each design being manufactured by a local jewellery firm sponsoring the competition. The final three winning designers will be in with the chance of winning attractive cash prizes. SLGJA encourages everyone interested in design, jewellery and fashion to submit their designs and showcase their creativity. Register now at www.slgja.org

The Competition closes on May 31.”
