JWA 2021 Jewellery Industry Best Practices

Jewellery World Awards 2021 | 7 Message This year marks the 10th anniversary of our international jewellery awards and it is indeed, a very exciting time as it takes on a new brand as Jewellery World Awards (JWA) to reflect the growing reach and global presence of the event. Throughout the years, JWA has been upholding best business practices to promote resilience, innovation and adaptability. As we are under extraordinary times, our judging panel looks for how entrants navigate through the challenges and strive for innovative ways to maintain sustainable business operations. With the rebranding, we have taken a step forward to become more inclusive to welcome new players and reach across new boundaries. This year, we have a record number of registrants spanning all six continents. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate this year’s JWA Honourees and Recipients. Their effort in striving for excellence and persevering through these challenging times is commendable and exemplary. Last but not least, I would like to extend my gratitude to our judging panel for their dedication, unbiased view and professional judgment.
