One for the Future

One for the Future is NYC Jewelry Week’s celebration of the next generation of talent in the jewelry industry. This annual recognition award celebrates recent graduates, emerging entrepreneurs, and young professionals from a variety of career paths—including design, marketing, education, journalism, and more—who are making their mark on the field.

Each year, NYC Jewelry Week carefully selects a group of honorees based on their passion, dedication, and outstanding contributions to their craft. Whether they are designing, writing, educating, or innovating behind the scenes, these individuals are shaping the future of jewelry in exciting and meaningful ways.

Honorees may receive opportunities to grow their careers, including access to exclusive networking events and industry connections. They are also featured across NYC Jewelry Week’s platforms, gaining visibility through our website, newsletter, and social media—plus special spotlights on Instagram, DISCOVER, and the USA Jewelry Tour. Additionally, they are invited to special events and presentations, offering even more chances to learn, collaborate, and connect with the jewelry community.

This is more than just an award—it’s a launching pad for emerging talent and a celebration of the bright future of jewelry.
