Austin Shines was hosted by 2nd Street District
jewelry boutique Eliza Page and media partner Launch 787, and gave aspiring jewelry designers a chance to learn about the industry and showcase their design talent. The event brought industry style and design veterans together with aspiring newcomers, shining the spotlight on jewelry design.
The day began with a series of daytime seminars, with a keynote address by Austin's own design celebrity, Kendra Scott; and it ended with a cocktail reception for the design winners at the Eliza Page store in the 2nd Street District on Friday, April 30.  The judges were so impressed by all the designs, and thank all the designers who submitted their collections to the "Shining Star" jewelry design contest!!
