CFDA and Tiffany & Co. Launch New Jewelry Designer Award

Tiffany & Co. has joined forces with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) to create an all-new Jewelry Designer Award that aims to recognize "American jewelry designers who are committed to driving inclusivity within the design industry" and elevate jewelry design as "its own category akin to womenswear and menswear."

Selected participants will receive mentorships and hands-on learning experiences that delve into Tiffany & Co.'s inventive processes. An esteemed selection committee will judge each participant's work, and the winner of the program will receive a year-long fellowship inside Tiffany & Co.'s design department and a $50,000 USD award.

The 2024 selection committee includes executive vice president of product, communications and industrial at Tiffany & Co. Alexandre Arnault, CFDA board member and advocate Bethann Hardison, vice chairman of jewelry at Sotheby’s Frank Everett, actress Gabrielle Union, creative director and stylist Jahleel Weaver, founder and chief creative officer Jason Wu, supermodel and actress Joan Smalls, chief artistic officer of jewelry and high jewelry at Tiffany & Co. Nathalie Verdeille and global head of fashion and beauty at Snap Inc. Rajni Jacques.

“The inaugural Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award uplifts Tiffany Atrium’s commitment to fostering lasting change across the jewelry and design industries. With a rich history of supporting inclusivity and creative excellence, Tiffany & Co. continues to be a champion for creative expression and social impact.” said Arnault.

Applications for the 2024 program are now open via the CFDA's website. Submissions will close on Friday, August 16, and participants will be announced in the fall. The Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award winner will then be revealed in early 2025.
