And the Winner Is...
MJSA 2024 Design Challenge: Responsibly Sourced Designs
Congratulations to Susan Burde of Magick Alchemy in Staten Island, New York, the winner of MJSA’s 2024 “Sisterhood Celebration” Responsibly Sourced Design Challenge!
Held annually, the design competition asked nine designers to create a jewelry piece for a fictional client using a collection of responsibly sourced gemstones from the project’s sponsor, Columbia Gem House in Vancouver, Washington. Throughout the year, we featured their designs online, and in October, we invited readers and viewers to vote for their favorite, and Burde’s necklace took the top prize.
