About

About

For jewelry designers pursuing their dream, the Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award presents a first-of-its-kind opportunity to learn from one of the world’s most celebrated design houses renowned for its legacy of inventive artistry.

Under the expertise of Tiffany’s Design team, the participants will be selected to take part in a multi-week experience, with the award recipient receiving $50,000 award and a one-year paid fellowship on the House’s Design team.

Participants will embark on an exploratory experience designed to sharpen skills, challenge creativity and prepare designers for success at the highest level. At the start of the program in October 2024, participants will receive a briefing on a design challenge led by Tiffany’s Design team, which will test their creative spirit, crafted to push boundaries and encourage inventiveness. The design challenge will be evaluated by the Selection Committee and one outstanding designer will be the first-ever recipient of the Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award.

Housed within our respective social-impact platforms, Tiffany Atrium and CFDA IMPACT, this award symbolizes the commitment between Tiffany and the CFDA to drive inclusivity and create a lasting impact within the design industry.
