New York—Jewelers of America (JA) has announced the winners of the 2025 CASE Awards.

The annual jewelry design contest recognized JA members who exhibit Creativity, Artistry, Style, and Excellence.

“With CASE Awards celebrating the 35th annual design competition, it was exciting to see the outpouring of incredible entries from our Jewelers of America members across the country,” said Amanda Gizzi, JA spokesperson and senior vice president of corporate affairs.

“We know that our members have incredible talent, and they continually deliver breathtaking jewelry to their clients. We are proud to celebrate their remarkable achievements and the brilliance they bring to the world of fine jewelry.”

First-place winners were selected from more than 150 entries across eight categories.

The categories were divided by retail price points and by JA retail and supplier membership: Jewelry up to $5,000; $5,001 to $10,000; $10,001 to $20,000; and $20,001 to $75,000.

The winners in each category were chosen by a panel of design experts that judged the jewelry’s overall design, marketability, originality, and the quality of the manufacturing.

This year’s judges were as follows:

Brecken Branstrator of GemGuide;
writer Tanya Dukes;
Amanda Gizzi;
Michelle Graff of National Jeweler;
Marisa Perry of Marisa Perry Atelier;
Adrianne Sanogo, GIA Graduate Gemologist and representative of Black in Jewelry Coalition; and
