The Artisan Jewellery Design Awards Received Monumental Response from the Gem & Jewellery Industry

India's global design hub status highlighted at GJEPC's Artisan Jewellery Design Awards 2024, featuring this year's most remarkable wearable artworks & crafts

The first theme, ‘Objet Trouvé’ (Found Objects) will explore art crafted from openly visible yet frequently altered objects that don’t typically serve as art materials due to their non-art function.

During the GJEPC Artisan Awards 2023 event in Mumbai, Vipul Shah, Chairman of GJEPC, highlighted the need for India to be renowned for its aesthetic artistry, design innovation, and commitment to craftsmanship. The event aimed to identify emerging talents capable of producing unique jewellery designs for international markets.

Artisan Awards received 600+ entries from 26 cities in India and international regions like the Middle East, North America, and Europe.

The Theme of The Artisan Awards 2023 was indiamoderne - the world of art meets modern jewellery.

The theme is sub divided into three arts, namely abstraction, sculpture and print

GJEPC conceptualized The Artisan Awards in 2014 with the purpose of motivating designers and artisans who are the backbone of this industry

This year, the theme is “The Collectors”, focusing on three iconic women – Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Hutton and Wallis Simpson
