Win a Masterpiece! MJSA Journal recently invited three designers to participate in its third annual Mystery Box Challenge. The designers had no idea what to expect in their boxes—and just four weeks’ time to transform the mystery materials into inspired jewelry pieces. Now’s your chance to see not only what our group of intrepid designers faced, but also what they triumphantly created. In addition to the mystery materials, the final pieces created from them are on display at the MJSA booth (#2122). Be sure to stop by to view the designs—and have a chance to take one home! The finished pieces are being raffled off during Expo New York. Raffle tickets are available for just $25 each at the MJSA booth—and you can buy a ticket for the specific design you’d like to win. All proceeds will go to the MJSA Education Foundation to support scholarships for jewelry students in accredited U.S. programs. Don’t miss your chance to take home a masterpiece!
