Attended by over 600 people from across the industry including retailers, manufacturers, designers and jewellery professionals, and with presentations to winners in 20 categories, the event was a great opportunity for industry professionals to celebrate the successes and achievements of colleagues in the trade, and especially those of our own customers.
