Editor’s Note
**Editor’s Note:** Madridjoya launches its inaugural awards to honor excellence in jewelry and watchmaking, recognizing career achievement, innovation, artisan mastery, and commercial success.
The awards will recognize career trajectory, innovation, artisan mastery, and commercial excellence among professionals and companies driving the sector.
Madridjoya, the International Urban and Trend Jewelry and Watch Fair organized by IFEMA MADRID, will take a further step in its commitment to the sector by creating the Madridjoya Awards. The awards will recognize for the first time the excellence, effort, and contribution of professionals, companies, and businesses that contribute to the development of jewelry and watchmaking.
The initiative will come to light in a particularly significant edition for the fair, which will celebrate its 75th edition from September 24 to 27, a milestone reflecting the trajectory of a fair that has accompanied the evolution of the sector for decades and remains one of its main professional meeting points today.
The Madridjoya Awards will distinguish professionals, companies, workshops, and businesses through different categories that reflect some of the pillars on which the evolution of the industry is based.
– Professional Career Award in Jewelry or Watchmaking: will recognize individuals or companies with a consolidated career and an outstanding contribution to the development and prestige of the sector, valuing their influence, evolution, and impact over the years.
– Artisan Craft and Jewelry Mastery Award: will focus on workshops, artisans, and professionals whose technical mastery, precision, and excellence have contributed to preserving and projecting the value of the jewelry craft, considering the quality of execution, complexity of the work, and preservation of artisanal techniques.
– Innovation in Product or Processes, Design, and Commercialization Award: will distinguish initiatives that have incorporated significant improvements in areas such as materials, production, design, digitalization, or commercial strategies, paying special attention to their practical application and market impact.
– Commercial Excellence in Jewelry and Watchmaking Award: aimed at stores, businesses, and specialized chains that stand out for the quality of their service, the professionalization of their teams, and the experience offered to the customer, also valuing aspects such as point-of-sale management, specialized attention, and business evolution.
– These categories will be joined by the Madridjoya Honor Award, a distinction intended to recognize an extraordinary contribution to the sector and a particularly relevant career within the sector.
The presentation of these awards will be part of the Madridjoya 2026 activity agenda, which will also include demonstrations, workshops, and other spaces aimed at sector professionals. All this will accompany a high-level exhibition offer, integrated by the most prominent companies and brands in the market, which will once again position Madrid as a meeting point for innovation, design, and business.
