CPAA International Pearl Design Competition 2022

The International Pearl Design Competition was created in 2009 to recognise design excellence with all types of cultured pearls under the authority of the Cultured Pearl Association of America. The Awards are international in scope, and have garnered international recognition for both emerging and seasoned artists from all over the world. Judges are leaders of the jewellery industry and include retailers, editors, buyers, and pearl jewellery craftsmen. Melanie was thrilled this year to be announced as the winner of the ‘Visionary Award for Classic Styles’ for her Bubble Ring in rose gold with Tahitian pearl. The CPAA commented that “This winning piece is attractive, creative, and salable, championing a fresh look for an iconic pearl ring”. A big thank you to the whole CPAA team for this honour!
