Here’s Who Took Home the Gold at the 2024 Couture Design Awards
Held on Saturday in Las Vegas, the annual awards show recognized brands and designers across 20 categories.

Awards were presented in 20 categories, with show organizers leaning into an Olympics theme for the introductory video this year, a nod to the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris.
A panel of five judges (two retailers, two editors, and one designer) chose the winners, judging each piece based on its design, craftsmanship, and salability.
This year’s judges were: Alexandra Lippin from Elyse Walker; Amy Lane from Bergdorf Goodman; Archana Thani, a jewelry curator and journalist; Tracey Ellison from The Diamond Girl; and designer Marco Bicego.
