Here in Spriteland we love happy customers – whether it’s feedback via emails (our favourite being a regular who emailed to say “I love your jewellery and your ethics”), tagged photos on Instagram, or smiling faces at local markets. But it’s also really rather fabulous to be acknowledged by the jewellery industry. At the end of 2021 we were named in two major awards… one of which we won!
First up was the Retail Jeweller UK Jewellery Awards in September. We’d been named a Finalist a few months earlier, and were already buzzing at that. The category was the Best Emerging Brand, and we were up against some really fab jewellers… and rather daunted at just how slick some of them looked. We knew it was an award for the jewellery not the website, but nonetheless made a mental note to give the Sprite website a lick of paint. We were lucky enough to attend the ceremony that evening – FINALLY A GLAM NIGHT OUT AFTER LOCKDOWN! – with our chums from We Are PR, and it was a super event. Sadly we didn’t win, but the award is one we can enter in 2022 and 2023 too, so watch this space.
The next event was December, and this was the Professional Jeweller Awards. We’d been selected as a Finalist in the Best Ethical Jewellery Collection category, for our Renaissance Collection. That’s a collection we’re hugely proud of, designed from sketches and crafted in sustainable sterling silver. We were over the moon to be crowned the winner, and lots of the shoppers at the festive markets heard that story over the weeks that followed. Here’s to more accolades for the Sprite!
