WJA calls for Diva design contest entries

MARCH 17, 2004 - CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The Women's Jewelry Association
is calling for entries for its Diva design competition.

The contest is open to all women who are U.S. residents, regardless of
whether they are employed in the jewelry industry or whether they have
formal design training. Entries are due April 15.

This year's theme is the geometric shape of stars--and the winners
will be entrants who have used precious metals and gemstones to create
bracelets, necklaces, rings, pendants and earrings incorporating the
shape. Original color renderings of the design should be drawn on
white or light gray background. Retail prices of the pieces cannot
exceed $25,000.

The first place winner will receive $2,500, second place $1,000 and
third place $250. Winners will be announced June 4 at the JCK Las
Vegas show.
