Ellis Jewelers of Concord is bringing back the Future Jewelry Designers Contest for the 12th year running! Design your dream ring or pendant necklace, and Ellis Jewelers of Concord will turn it into a real piece of custom jewelry!
Who can participate? Any Cabarrus County Schools student in grades 3-12 is eligible. A complete list of rules and criteria is available at each school. The team of jewelry designers at Ellis will select the top 5 designs from each age group (grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) and then the top 5 designs will be shared on Facebook for the community to vote for their favorites!

The Ellis design team will get to work creating custom jewelry pieces based off the winning sketches, and winners will be invited to a special ceremony at Ellis Jewelers on Thursday, May 25th to receive their completed pieces. Winners can choose to keep their winning design for themselves or give it to somebody special.
Every effort will be made to adhere to the winning student’s original design. However, Ellis Jewelers reserves the right to modify the design and select metals and gemstones at the discretion and suggestion of our jeweler. For further information, and to submit electronically, click here.
