Seasoned and novice designers alike are invited to submit submissions for the 13th annual International Pearl Design Competition.

Organized by the Cultured Pearl Association of America (CPAA), the contest celebrates the prowess of jewellers worldwide when it comes to designing with cultured pearls. Both international designers and those based in the United States are invited to enter, although international submissions must consist of renderings, computer-aided design (CAD) drawings, or sketches rather than finished pieces.

CPAA has announced revisions to its award categories:

Additionally, American entrants must be prepared to sell their piece at the store of the association’s retail partner, the Aaron Faber gallery in New York City, if it reaches finalist or winner status, CPAA says.

The deadline for submission is Oct. 7. Winners will be announced at a cocktail reception on Oct. 27. For more, click here.
