The deadline for the 2010 AGTA Spectrum Awards™ and Cutting Edge competition is set for this Friday, September 25, 2009. Great media exposure is just one of the reasons to enter - and what better opportunity than to have your piece on display in the Platinum Guild International USA's Red Carpet Jewelry Preview suite at the Emmy Awards?

Two 2009 Spectrum Awards Platinum Honors-winning pieces, a multi-color brooch featuring fancy color diamonds, sapphires and rubies by Fortune's Fine Jewellery and morganite and diamond drop earrings by Richard Krementz Gemstones, were on display in the suite. Celebrities visited the suite prior to the Emmys to get accessorized in the hottest platinum jewelry designs, many of which feature colored gemstones and pearls.

The Spectrum Awards is the premiere colored gemstone and pearl jewelry design competition in the world. 2010 marks the 26th year of the competition’s existence. The participation of Platinum Guild International, which sponsors Platinum Honors, is a key part of the value of the competition. Platinum Honors-winning designs are provided with a great added-value media package, valued in the tens of thousands of dollars.

On a separate note, the location for the New York drop-off on October 6th has been released – it will be held at the offices of Intercolor at 48 West 48th Street, Suite 800. All entry forms must be submitted to the Dallas office by September 25th in order to be eligible for judging. Entry forms are available online at www.agta.org/awards. Enter today!
