There are three categories of JJA Jewellery Design Awards. Jewellery in the "Professional" category is judged according to levels of design, technique and quality. Items in the "Theme" category are judged based on their appropriateness for the Japan Jewellery Association's "Bonds of Love" campaign. Meanwhile the "Newcomer" category is for jewellery created by students and young designers and that challenges traditional concepts.

This year there were 126 entries for the awards, with a total of 185 jewellery pieces submitted for the three categories. The number of the entries was 50% higher than the previous year.

Mr Hayashi Maruyama, Chairman of the Japan Jewellery Association, said: "I could strongly feel the creative enthusiasm and passion of the entrants from their jewellery this year. The judges and I were all very happy to see the dramatic increase of the number of entries, which indicates to us the strength of the surge in creativity in Japan's jewellery industry today."

Mr Ichiro Iino, Chairman of the Judging Committee, who is a professor of the Tokyo University of the Arts commented, "The Grand Prize winner was exquisite not only in its design and techniques but also in its presentation and imagination as a total package."

Of the 126 entries, 38 entries, totalling 59 jewellery pieces, were selected for awards and put on display in the exhibition hall. In addition, the top eight winners were presented their awards at a special award ceremony and fashion show held on the Event Stage at the exhibition.

After being displayed at the Japan Jewellery Fair, the award winning pieces will go on display at the world's largest jewellery fair, the September Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair. After that they will be put on display at the Lalique Museum in Hakone, Japan, from October.
