MJSA - Vision Award Winners 2010!

The Vision Awards recognize excellence among both professional and student designers, and the Thinking Ahead Awards recognize products that, through "the introduction of new technology or the improvement of existing technologies," are advancing the way in which jewelry is made and sold. Two products won the Thinking Ahead Awards, Speedwire (a laser welding wire dispenser) and the SpeckFINDER HD (an optical workstation for gem inspection and analysis). The Winner of the Professional Vision Award for Design Excellence: Jennifer Jordan Park Wear Ever Custom Jewelry Budd Lake, New Jersey "Splash." A cloisonné enamel box ring made with fine silver, 24k gold cloisonné wire, 18k and 22k gold, and various colors of opaque and transparent leaded enamel. The Winner of the Vision Award for Future of the Industry (Student) category: Davina Rae Romansky GIA Student Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio "Cascading." Necklace in sterling silver Vision Awards are also given for Gold and Laser Distinction as well as - my favorite - Technical Solutions!
