Earlier this month, the winners of the 2015 Vendors’ Choice Retailer Awards were announced during a gala dinner, sponsored by VERANDA magazine, at the Centurion Scottsdale Show. At the dinner, Centurion designers and jewelers vote for the retailers they deem most outstanding in several business areas. Craig’s Fine Jewelry of Ridgefield was voted the 2015 Outstanding Retail Partner of the Year.
This is Craig’s Fine Jewelry’s second award in three years. At the 2013 Vendors’ Choice Retailer Awards, they were awarded Retailer of the Year. "When we created the Vendors' Choice Retailer Awards three years ago, we were extremely excited to present the highly innovative and deserving Craig's Fine Jewelry with Retailer of the Year honors," said Howard Hauben, president of the Centurion Jewelry Show.
"On February 5, 2015 history repeated itself, as we proudly welcomed Bill Craig and Laura Verses of Craig's Fine Jewelry back to the stage at our annual awards gala to receive the award for Best Retail Partner of the Year," Hauben added. "This award signifies that Craig's Fine Jewelry is loved not only by its Connecticut community but by the great designers and manufacturers with whom they work to bring beautiful jewelry to market. It's continuously impressive to see how Craig's Fine Jewelry has perfected the art of how to treat people."
The Centurion Scottsdale Jewelry Show is an exclusive, invitation-only international gathering for high-end designers, manufacturers and jewelers and their invited retailers. New designs and trends, luxury metals and one of a kind stones are showcased, along with informational and educational meetings and workshops.
