The Annual CHD Design Comp

SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED!

It is a jewellery design competition - in which entrants will design a Sterling Silver Ring.
Anything from standard signet styles with designed engravings, logos or emblems, stone rings, right through to sculptural pieces.

The Design Concept will be entered with images, sketches and/or explanations of the thought behind the piece. 
If you can't draw - no worries at all, just compile a bunch of images that portray the concept. 
See here, an example of a great custom design break down.
It should include:

• A design name
• The ring shape/style
• Any and all designs and engravings - including side details
• Your own personal hallmark - which can be a small symbol, signature or emblem to represent you as a designer.

Then give us a break down of the piece in a PDF or scribbled on a page. 

YOU CAN ENTER AS MANY DESIGNS AS YOU LIKE!

HINTS:

1. We love hidden detail & meaning. Don't neglect the inner band engravings. 
2. If you are using text, make sure to include fonts.
3. Use example of our rings to show the design shape/style.

Why would you bother? Besides stretching out the creative banjo-string and the numbing few weeks you'll have in self-isolation... The winner will have their piece produced and listed online for an exclusive short run, (in which you will take design royalty on). A runner-up design will also be chosen and produced for the second place designer. 

Entries will open April 1st and close on the 30th. 

The winners will be drawn by the team at CHD.Throughout the competition term, we will be posting images of the designs to gauge appeal, which will influence the final decision. We did originally want to do a voting system, however we didn't want this to be overrun by some stray sweetheart with 100k followers voting in their pig meat design.
