“We’re extremely pleased to see such an international flavour in the finalist list, which together with the large number of entries, positions the JNA Awards as an important milestone for the global jewellery industry.”

“From mining to manufacturing, marketing and retail, there must be a collaborative effort to deliver on changing consumer needs. As established and emerging leaders of innovation in the gem and jewellery industry, the recipients of the JNA Awards are well placed to capture the opportunities.”
