Since 2007, the Centurion Emerging Designer Competition each year gives three up-and-coming designers an opportunity to launch their line in front of an exclusive audience of American luxury jewelers.The annual Competition, sponsored by Stuller, attracts the best rising talents in U.S. jewelry design as well as renowned jewelry designers from around the world, to vie for one of three coveted spaces at the Centurion Scottsdale Show. 

The competition is open only to designers that have never before shown at a U.S. fine jewelry trade show before. This year’s competition drew more than 85 entries from around the world, and the Centurion Retailer Advisory Board votes for the final winners every year. 

Centurion president Howard Hauben said, "Every year Centurion brings together the top prestige jewelers in the United States with an outstanding collection of high-end manufacturers. We're proud to also introduce such a high level of innovative new talent that adds to our tradition of bringing the best retailers and designers together under one roof."

Ashley Brown, Stuller’s executive director of marketing and public relations, added, “Stuller has been proud to sponsor the Centurion Emerging Designer Competition for the last seven years. Innovation and creativity are essential to the future of the jewelry industry. Finding new talent is where it begins, and we’re excited to be part of the process.”

In addition to their free exhibit space at the Centurion Show, the three winners also each received a $1,000 merchandise certificate from Stuller.
