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.

Through a juried open call, a group of practitioners is selected each winter. We are looking for individuals who demonstrate passion, dedication, and devotion to their craft. Designers, writers, educators, or innovators who are behind the scenes shaping the future of jewelry in exciting and meaningful ways.

We welcome the selected honorees into the NYC Jewelry Week family where they may receive opportunities, including access to networking events and introductions to industry relationships. NYC Jewelry Week also features them across its platforms, increasing their visibility through our website, newsletter, and social media.

This is not simply an award; it’s a launching pad.

Applications for One for the Future open each winter. Join our mailing list to be notified as soon as the call opens, so you don’t miss the opportunity apply.
