The Marcia Lanyon Innovative Design Award has been established under various guises for over 10 years, with winners going on to be well respected and established names within the jewellery industry. The award is a celebration of beautiful gemstones and cutting edge design; entrants are required to demonstrate an original use of coloured stones in their proposals with the top prize being awarded to the designer who shows the most innovation. 

 

Winners receive hundreds of pounds in Marcia Lanyon gift vouchers to help them on their way with their career and the competition is judged by Marcia Lanyon herself who has 40 years experience in the industry and a keen interest in encouraging new designers.
