Retail Jeweller celebrates best in class at UK Jewellery Awards 2010

Retail Jeweller recognised the best of the UK watch and jewellery industry at the UK Jewellery Awards 2010 last night.

The glittering event took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London. Retail Jeweller editor-in-chief Jenni Middleton took to the stage to a rapturous reception from the audience, to deliver a speech celebrating the passion, professionalism and all round excellence of the industry.

The event was hosted by TV personality Claudia Winkleman, who announced both the nominees and winners. Catwalk shows showcasing jewels and energetic dance routines punctuated proceedings over the course of the evening as the awards were handed out.

The Retail Jeweller team extends a huge congratulations to the deserving winners and also to the highly talented finalists in each category. This year really was a vintage year, and we look forward to welcoming you all again in 2011.
