DISCOVER Feature

We’re excited to announce that applications are now open for the spring edition of DISCOVER!

DISCOVER is a curated platform by NYC Jewelry Week that offers jewelers and jewelry brands the opportunity to gain international visibility by showcasing their work to a global audience. The platform runs twice per year and highlights a diverse selection of designers chosen by a curator.

This edition is curated by A Thousand Facets, a respected voice in the jewelry world known for celebrating and elevating independent designers. With a history of successful collaborations, high-profile features, and a trusted reputation in the global jewelry community, A Thousand Facets brings both expertise and excitement to this year’s curation.

After earning a degree in fashion design, the creator of A Thousand Facets found her true calling in the world of jewelry. With over two decades of industry experience and 16 years spent championing independent makers, she has created a vibrant community dedicated to education and discovery.

Through her podcast of the same name, she explores the “why” behind what we wear, sharing the stories of artists and professionals who create these wearable works of art.

Her personal collection reflects her love of the art form. She enjoys commissioning work and being a patron of the industry. Never merely accessories, her pieces capture moments, connections, and the creators’ unique points of view.

Participation Benefits

Each feature selected for DISCOVER includes:

• 6 images of your work plus your logo
• A bio or description of your collection or business
• A personalized URL
• Links to your website and/or social media profiles

In addition, your feature will be promoted on the NYC Jewelry Week Instagram, with one collaborative carousel post featuring your work and one story slide with a clickable link that is pinned to our story highlights. The carousel post will remain visible on our Instagram feed indefinitely, while the pinned story highlight will remain on our profile for the duration of the current DISCOVER edition.

Your feature on DISCOVER is presented with industry credibility and visibility. Unlike influencer marketing, which focuses on paid promotions and personal endorsements, DISCOVER offers recognition through a juried, professional platform. Being selected by respected curators signals to peers, buyers, and press that your work meets a standard of excellence, helping you connect with an audience that values craftsmanship and innovation within the jewelry field.

Selection Criteria

Applications are reviewed by our curator, who evaluates submissions based on originality, craftsmanship, and creative vision, with particular attention to innovation and storytelling. Each application is carefully considered to ensure a fair and transparent selection process. We welcome jewelers whose work reflects a broad range of styles, including fashion, contemporary, art, and fine jewelry. Because DISCOVER is a photo-forward platform, high-quality images are especially important. Selection is based on the overall applicant pool and is subjective in relation to the work of other applicants.

Eligibility

There are no restrictions on who can apply. We welcome applications from around the world, from emerging to established artists. Important reminder: If your work is chosen and featured on the DISCOVER page, you cannot reapply or be selected for a second feature. This policy helps us ensure that DISCOVER features new and diverse voices each season, giving as many designers as possible the opportunity to participate.
