Erica Courtney Wins WJA 2011 Diva Awards Competition

The winner of this year's WJA Diva Awards competition is Erica Courtney with her Helen Bracelet. Erica created this special clasp at the center of the piece while her mother's jewelry made up the bracelet potion of the piece. This year's competition theme was renewable, reusable or green designs. Erica's repurposing of her mother's jewelry is such a creative way of designing a jewelry piece that its no wonder she was awarded the top award.

Along with a trophy, Erica Courtney was presented with $750 which she gave right back to WJA for their use. Even before the award was announced, this piece was generating buzz. After the award was given, the Helen bracelet became the talk of Las Vegas during the recent trade shows and it continues to make headlines.

Congratulations to Erica Courtney for winning this year's WJA Diva design competition award.
