The 8th JNA Awards has added two new categories to cope with the changing needs and emerging trends in the jewellery industry while encouraging wider participation from around the globe.
Commenting on the newly added ‘New Outstanding Enterprise’ and ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ categories, Letitia Chow, chairperson of the JNA Awards and director of business development – jewellery group at UBM Asia said: “While China and India are leading countries driving the growth of the global jewellery and gemstone industry, there are many exceptional enterprises in other parts of the world that also deserve recognition. By introducing a new Outstanding Enterprise of the Year category this year, we can cover more enterprises from all over the world.
“In these changing times, being creative and innovative are key factors for succeeding in the industry, no matter the scale of the business. Therefore, we have also added a new Manufacturer of the Year category, which puts emphasis on creativity and innovation. Through this category, we can pay tribute to individual jewellers, as well as sizeable operations, that strive to adopt innovative and original ways to bring out and maximise the uniqueness and natural qualities of the precious stones.”
Since 2012, the JNA Awards founded by UBM Asia aims to identify, encourage and honour excellence, leadership, innovation and best business practices in the international jewellery and gemstone business.
