Gearry Suen wins Technological Innovation Award in the Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council Competition


We are proud to sponsor the Technological Innovation Award in the Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council Competition.  A silver award was presented at the ceremony on 17 May 2021 to Gearry Suen.

The brief asked designers to enter 3D pieces that demonstrated technological innovation in creative design:  "This special award celebrates the use and contribution that technology is now playing/making in our profession. The winner of this exciting prize will have demonstrated innovative use of technology through the production of 3D jewellery, smallwork or silverware. The winner will receive a cash prize and also be entitled to free registration and a hallmarking punch at the London Assay Office."

On Instgram Gearry wrote, "The experience of examining this piece is said to be like opening a treasure box"

Our Conversation Earrings won the prestigious Goldsmiths' Company Award, one of the highest accolades at the UK's very own "Jewellery Oscars". The piece also won a further 3 awards and secured 2 nominations across a variety of categories including Laser Technology (Gold Award) @alphalasergmbh, Precious Jewellery (Gold Award) @jewellerylondon, and Technological Innovation Award (Silver Award) @theassayoffice
