We’ve chosen the winners for our 2015 Jewelry Design Contest!!!
Participants simply had to pick up a free bag of our 3 challenge beads (see photo at bottom of this page) and start creating something fabulous by incorporating other supplies and beads of their choice into their designs. Designers were required to use at least 2 out of the 3 beads, and entires were judged on originality, creativity, technique, and overall wearability.
The winning jewelry designs will remain on display at the shop throughout the month of August, and our winners will receive gift certificates from Wine on Piedmont, Resurrect, and (of course!) Blue Door Beads.
Congratulations to our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, and thanks to everyone who participated! Well done, everyone!
