If you asked twenty people in attendance at any of the venues of the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase (BTW - this is the city's official name for the shows) if they have been to the Centurion Show...most will answer that they have never even heard of it.
The Centurion Show is an invitation only show that caters to the Retail Jeweler - spotlighting the finest of the fine jewelry industry and featuring the latest designs and trends from the upper end of the manufacturing segment.
You will see brands like Verragio who were "showcasing the latest engagement ring designs {including a brand new collection to be revealed this spring which is "truly" unlike any other ring} at the Centurion Jewelry Show to a select group of fine jewelry stores."
...and these top name brands BRING IT!
The attendees at the Centurion Show represent their current customers and their opportunity to attract new accounts!
Maybe now you can see why, in my opinion, this is the perfect show to hold the "Emerging Designer Awards".
You may be a fabulous Designer...but...are you sale-able?
This is how it works - Designers send in a set of photos (3) that represent them and their style and that grouping is voted on by the attendees (retail jewelers) of the Centurion Show...and that takes us too...
Centurion is pleased to announce the winners of its second annual
Centurion Emerging Designer Awards.
They are:- Designer Ana Guity Stein for Anahita
- Designer Julia Behrends for Julia Behrends Designs
- Designer Ehud Barlev for Julieli
- Designer Margaret Choy for Margeretti & Co.
- Designer Meital Elkayam Shaked for Meitel Elkayam
- Designer Noam Hakak for Noam Carver Fine Jewelry
“We are very pleased to celebrate our 2010 Emerging Designer winners, and even more pleased to have introduced them to the prestige retailers that attended Centurion this year,” said Centurion President Howard Hauben.
The six designers shared two areas on the Centurion Collection Floor during the recent show in Tucson. Entries for the 2010 Centurion Emerging Designer Awards were voted on in 2009 by the top retail jewelers invited to the show.
“Centurion’s mission to protect the interests of the high-end of the fine jewelry industry goes hand-in-hand with our desire to help the industry develop its future talent,” said Hauben. “The Annual Emerging Designers competition is a key part of this effort.”
A short biography, photo, designs and contact information from each of the winners is a available here (this is a .pdf file and may take a moment to fully load).
So - do you think you have what the Retail Jeweler's customer is looking for?
