Have you ever wanted to design your perfect necklace?!
Well now is your chance!
We are STOKED to announce that our BE THE DESIGNER COMPETITION is back for 2017, where we ask YOU to design YOUR dream necklace. It could even be put into production and become a reality.
Ladies, it's time to fire up that creativity, sharpen those pencils and put your design skills to the test. Get dreaming, get thinking, but mostly have fun!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: Download the template and start designing, you can choose any medium: pens, paints, even digital - the sky is the limit here
STEP 2: Submit your design and it'll go to the vote (see downloadable template for submission options)
STEP 3: When submissions close you get to vote on your favourite designs
STEP 4: Celebrate the winner (it could be YOU)
We've got three AWESOME prizes up for grabs this year, so read below to get some inspiration for your designs.
1. OVERALL WINNER

(Please note if the highest voted design is also chosen as the winning design, the design with the next highest votes (from a different designer) will be the Crowd Favourite)
We were SO impressed with the winning design, the Waterfall Necklace from Vicki Meehan (read more here) that we ended up designing the whole Cascade Collection around it. Vicki chose the incredible Freedom Hub for proceeds of the sale of the necklace to go towards, and has now opened our eyes to a truly wonderful organisation. Find out more about the Freedom Hub here.
