Diamond Guild Awards finalists named

Diamond Guild Australia has announced the finalists for its biennial Jewellery Awards.

Entrants across six categories have been recognised for their “exemplary workmanship and creative integrity” by the panel of industry professionals who selected the winners to be announced on 16 October.

Interior designer Greg Natale, actress April Rose Penilly, general manager of Good Design Australia Rachel Wye and jewellery designer John Calleija made up the judging panel and were tasked with up to three shortlisting three contenders for the prizes.

The winner of each category will go on to be in the running for the Supreme Award that recognises the pinnacle of jewellery design excellence in Australia.

The winners will be announced at the Diamond Guild Australia Gala Event in Melbourne as the ceremony makes its way to Victoria for the first time. It will be the first Guild Awards since its extended hiatus after the event was postponed last year to avoid conflict with two other local design competitions.
