The shortlist of individuals and businesses for the 2024 UK Jewellery Awards was unveiled at a party held in central London last night (21 March). More than half of this year's shortlist is made up of NAJ members. 

There were a record number of entries received for this year’s awards, which recognise and reward excellence across all areas of the industry spanning everything from design and retail excellence through to digital innovation and marketing.

The UK Jewellery Awards 2024, in association with The Betts Group, will take place on 26 June at the iconic Old Billingsgate venue in London.

Other sponsors of the event include Hockley Mint, Pursuit Software, Single Mine Origin, Studex, TH March, Windiam and WOLF. The National Association of Jewellers is the event's official supporter.

Now in its 32nd year, the UK Jewellery Awards is the longest-standing and most-prestigious jewellery and watch trade awards event and Retail Jeweller received a record number of applications this year. These were then reviewed to come up with the final shortlist.

Over 250 guests attended last night’s shortlist event, with over 600 people expected to attend the award ceremony on 26 June.

Retail Jeweller managing editor Ruth Faulkner said,

“It was fabulous to be able to celebrate with so many of our finalists at last night’s shortlist event and we look forward to welcoming them to the awards’ new home of Old Billingsgate on 26 June for the ceremony.”
