The National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) is thrilled to announce the date and venue for the 2026 NAJ Awards, with Curteis returning as the headline sponsor.
Following last year’s record-breaking event, which saw 400 industry guests celebrate the best of UK jewellery, the NAJ Awards will return to the International Convention Centre (ICC) in central Birmingham to host the 2026 awards evening. The 2026 NAJ Awards will take place on Thursday, October 8th, and again will be supported by Curteis as the headline sponsor. This marks Curteis’s fourth consecutive year as the main sponsor of the event.
Curteis is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of precious metal jewellery, supplying prominent jewellery retailers, wholesalers, and the gift sector.
Claire Davies, Curteis’s operations director, stated,
“Curteis is delighted to continue its support of the NAJ Awards. Last year’s event was a wonderful celebration of the talent within our industry, and we look forward to celebrating with the 2026 finalists later this year.”
The NAJ Awards provide an opportunity to champion talent within the UK jewellery industry and to recognise the business owners, teams, and professionals who go above and beyond for the trade and their customers.
Submissions for this year’s NAJ Awards will open next week, with more information to follow regarding categories and sponsors.
Ben Massey, NAJ chief executive, concludes,
“Last year’s NAJ Awards continued the exceptional growth and engagement in the event, and we are excited to welcome even more members of the trade to enter this year’s Awards.”
