The JAA Australasian Jewellery Awards celebrate and recognise design, innovation, craftsmanship and marketability in the jewellery industry. They are the ultimate industry awards that reward creativity, skill and technique.

Demonstrating both craftsmanship and design skills are vital to succeeding as a jewellery designer. Many designers are inspired by an emotional event and often the design begins with a story and ends with a piece of jewellery that can be kept forever. However, to be a superior jewellery ‘artist’, designers must be technically skilled and have the ability to work with precious metals and gemstones.

In the 23rd running of the Awards, two new categories were introduced. The Bridal Award – tradition with a twist, sponsored by Bride to Be Magazine, gave designers the opportunity to create a no holds barred piece of jewellery or an accessory that could be worn or used by a bride on her special day. The Morris and Watson Men’s Accessories and Jewellery Award invited designers to produce an original piece of jewellery or an accessory that would be worn or used by a male. All materials used in the piece were to be Australian or New Zealand precious metals and / or natural gemstones, natural pearls or natural opals.

This year 85 entries were submitted from all over Australia and New Zealand. The standard was exceptional, giving the expert panel of judges a great challenge in selecting the winners.

Advanced technical and design skills – demonstrated by creativity, innovation and craftsmanship are key features of the outstanding winning designs of the 2014 Awards.

All entrants’ pieces appear in this publication. The overall winner will win a trip to the Hong Kong Jewellery Fair in March 2015 and all the winning pieces will be entered into an international Champion of Champions competition that will coincide with the Hong Kong Fair.

Congratulations to all entrants with special congratulations to the category winners and overall winners.

The JAA Awards program has stamped itself as the most distinguished program for the Australasian jewellery industry. As my first year involved in the Awards, I am delighted to be a part of such an exciting concept that was introduced 46 years ago.

In his position as President of the Jewellers of Association, Roy Samuel Worfold, founded of the JAA Design Awards in 1968, establishing a program to honour designers for their artistry and excellence.

Sadly, Roy Worfold passed away late last year at the age of 96. His contribution to the Australian jewellery industry will continue to be honoured through the Roy Worfold Perpetual Trophy, awarded to the Jeweller of the Year in the biennial JAA Australasian Jewellery Awards.

We have much to thank the late Roy Worfold for - his own creative thinking has given hundreds of designers an opportunity to showcase their talents. Previous winners who site the awards as having a positive influence on their careers include John Calleija, Craig Peters, Jason Ree, Dean Walker, Thomas Meihofer and Emily Snadden.

On behalf of the JAA I acknowledge the vision of Roy Samual Worfold to introduce the Awards and thank all the designers who took the time to enter the 2014 Awards.

Please enjoy browsing all that glitters!

NATIONWIDE JEWELLERS PRECIOUS METAL AWARD

WINNERBenjamin Hart | Benjamin Hart

Pursuit of Happiness

Description: The pendant is a stylised image of a lotus flower separated into four individual panels. White gold on one side. Yellow gold on the other. The mechanics of the pendant enable it to rotate vertically and horizontally, allowing the wearer to achieve multiple looks from one pendant.

Motivation: Watching the movie The Pursuit of Happyness I was inspired by Will Smith’s character and how a Rubik’s Cube started his journey to success. Using the symbol of the lotus flower I felt it was a perfect representation of the movie’s title as well as the path I was taking in creating this piece.

Materials Used: 18ct white and yellow gold and diamonds.

CHEMGOLD CAD / CAM AWARD

WINNERMartin Linning | Jewellery by Design

Cascade

Description: Designed and created with the latest CAD / CAM technology, the seven lines of pave set diamonds form an oscillating pattern on the band that wraps snugly round the right middle finger before curving back across the hand to form a graceful arch.

71


72



Frozen

Description: White gold ring featuring an asscher cut aquamarine centre stone with trapezoid cut diamond side stones. The swirling under rail is set with 24 round brilliant cut diamonds.

Two crisp white diamonds should aqua as does the snow to the water’s edge. With the elaborate design under the setting mimicking the water fountains frozen in time.

My aim was to highlight the limitless possibilities of CAN and 3D printing by displaying the precision, symmetry and seamless joins that is only achievable using this technology. These techniques for manufacturing have allowed us to survive and thrive in this competitive industry as a small business.

Materials Used: 9ct yellow and white gold, amethyst and diamonds.
