NAJ Awards 2026: Date, Venue, and Headline Sponsor Confirmed

The National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) has officially announced the date and venue for the highly anticipated 2026 NAJ Awards, with industry leaders Curteis returning as the headline sponsor.

Following the phenomenal success of last year’s record-breaking event—which brought together 400 industry professionals to celebrate the finest talent in UK jewellery—the awards evening will return to the International Convention Centre (ICC) in central Birmingham on Thursday, 8th October 2026.

A Partnership Built on Excellence

This year marks the fourth consecutive year that Curteis, one of the UK’s premier manufacturers of precious metal jewellery, will support the event as the main sponsor.

“Curteis is delighted to continue its support of the NAJ Awards,” says Claire Davies, Operations Director at Curteis. “Last year’s event was a wonderful celebration of the talent within our industry, and we look forward to celebrating with the 2026 finalists later this year.”

The NAJ Awards serve as a vital platform to champion extraordinary talent within the UK jewellery sector, shining a spotlight on the business owners, teams, and dedicated professionals who consistently go above and beyond for the trade and their customers.
