The WJA (Women’s Jewelry Association) is an organization that has been working to empower women in the timepiece and jewelry industry for over 25 years.  With 13 regional chapters and their headquarters in Chicago, the WJA is actively helping countless women to achieve their professional goals.  Each year, the organization holds an awards event honoring excellence in a variety of aspects of jewelry from design to retail and beyond.  This year’s event was held at Pier 60 in New York.

The awards bring out the best and brightest members of the jewelry industry and this year was no exception.  Among the attendees were Gurhan Orhan and Fiona Tilley.  The elegant couple posed for pictures looking relaxed and happy.  Others in attendance included Ivanka Trump, David and Sybil Yurman, and Diane von Furstenberg who was presented with the WJA Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award.

Event coverage is featured in the November 2009 issue of Gotham magazine with pictures of Mr. Gurhan and many others.
