The decision as to who wins is never easy for me. I take a very objective approach. I try to visualize the piece in a gallery shop. Thinking of it inside a glass case with a pricey tag on it. Does it stand up? Does it have that style, elegance, quality in craftsmanship, quality in components? Does it grab my eye? Is it unique? All of those judging rules go into how I approach my decision. This month was terribly difficult because all entries were up to those standards. But, not everyone can be winners when you give three prizes and you have 34 entries.
Here are the winning entries to the April Jewelry Contest:
First Prize Winner
"Bella Luna" Necklace by Kelly Stribling
Second Prize Runner-Up
Dragonfly & Gem Necklace by Kira Shaner
2nd Prize Runner-Up
"Madeline" Bracelet by Whitney Childs
