Taking a figurative page from the book Jewelry Design Challenge, which I recently reviewed, Rio Grande and Lark Books has teamed up to create the Jewelry Design Challenge. Just as in the book of the same title, participants are asked to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry using the same nine basic materials, plus a wildcard element (if they chose to do so). Some of the materials include pearls, copper washers, Greek leather, and sterling sheet.
The deadline is coming up soon, November 30, 2010, at 9 p.m. EST. Obviously, if you want to enter and have not started yet, it's time to get busy. The prizes are pretty awesome too: grand prize is a $1,500 Rio Grande gift card plus a library of 10 Lark Jewelry & Beading books; second place is a $1,000 Rio Grande gift card and a library of 5 Lark Jewelry & Beading books; and third place is a $500 Rio Grande gift card and a library of 5 Lark Jewelry & Beading books.
