“We are honored to be recognized by our peers to win three awards across multiple design categories,” said Niveet Nagpal, President of Omi Privé. “Congratulations to all of our fellow designers and winners. We are humbled to be included amongst the best in the world of fine jewelry.”
The judging panel for the 8th INSTORE Design Awards included six prestigious retailers and three respected media professionals from around the country. Each voted for their favorites by way of a “blind voting” process, while many more North American merchants cast their votes at instoremag.com to generate a “Retailer’s Choice” winner in each category. With 246 entries across 35 categories this year, there was certainly a wide range to pieces to vote for and fierce competition.

Grand Prize Winner, Platinum 1st Place & Retailer’s Choice
This bold royal blue oval sapphire weighing 11.75 carats is the focal point of this detailed ring design; accompanied by an AGL report stating its origin is Madagascar. Its triple claw-like prongs provide protection and importance, but they are still delicate due to their exquisite craftsmanship, which doesn’t detract from the center stone. The shank has a distinct harlequin-like pattern, with expertly matched tapering sapphires running its length; diamonds are set between the stones and the overall design is simultaneously classic and modern.
Colored Stone Jewelry, 1st Place
Platinum ring featuring an oval cobalt spinel accented by oval Paraíba-type tourmalines, round Paraíba tourmalines, round hauynes and round diamonds.
A one-of-a-kind design that will truly be the center of any colored gemstone lovers collection. The very rare cobalt spinel is the central blue hue tying together the spectrum of blue gemstones featured in this ring. The different blue hues are each unique yet compliment one another. Striking details elevate this ring like the bright Paraíba tourmalines and hauyne halo, all accented with round diamonds.
Men’s Jewelry, 1st Place & Retailer’s Choice
18K white gold ring accented with black rhodium featuring a 3.04 carat emerald-cut blue spinel accented by 1.50 carat total weight of round diamonds and 0.11 carat total weight of round alexandrites.
