If you<\/span><\/i> asked twenty people in attendance at any of the venues of the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase (BTW – this is <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>the city’s official name for the shows<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>) if they have been to the Centurion Show…most will answer that they have never even heard of it.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The Centurion Show is an invitation only show that caters to the Retail Jeweler – spotlighting the finest of the fine jewelry industry and featuring the latest designs and trends from the upper end of the manufacturing segment.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nYou will see brands like Verragio<\/a> who were “<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>showcasing the latest engagement ring designs {including a brand new collection to be revealed this spring which is “truly” unlike any other ring} at the Centurion Jewelry Show to a select group of fine jewelry stores.”<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
…and these top name brands BRING IT!<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
The attendees at the Centurion Show represent their current customers and their opportunity to attract new accounts!<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Maybe now you can see why, in my opinion, this is the perfect show to hold the “Emerging Designer Awards”.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
You may be a fabulous Designer…but…are you sale-able? <\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
This is how it works – Designers send in a set of photos (3) that represent them and their style and that grouping is voted on by the attendees (retail jewelers) of the Centurion Show…and that takes us too…<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Centurion is pleased to announce the winners of its second annual <\/b><\/div>\n
