ABOUT HRD DESIGN AWARDS

Renowned today as one of the world's most considerable Jewellery design contests, the HRD Design Awards was initiated in 1984 as the 'Antwerp Diamond High Council awards', with the aim of promoting creativity and design excellence in contemporary diamond jewellery in Belgium.

In 1988, the competition became biennial and introduced an innovative approach. The contestants would work their design around a defined theme.

The 2003 edition for the first time was open to candidates from across the world. Today we are proudly launching our 18th edition of this competition.

The HRD Design Awards is a unique prestigious opportunity for talented Jewellery and accessory designers from all across the world. We aim at promoting their creativity in contemporary designs. For the competition, artists will fashion an exclusive creation to highlight their unique artistic ability.
