Chupi founder wins UK jewellery award
The annual UK Jewellery Awards took place in London, where more than 700 members of the watch and jewellery industry assembled. The Entrepreneurial Spirit category is a new category which recognises an inspiring individual who has shown great determination, leadership and ambition to build a successful business.
Speaking after the event, Chupi said that she was “overwhelmed and incredibly happy” to win the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award and that she was honoured to win such an award in the company of so many international jewellery designers. She also credited her customers for helping to make her brand the success that it is.
“When I set up Chupi, I dreamt it was possible to make beautiful jewellery with love in Ireland. Everyone thought I was crazy, but standing on stage in London, winning our first international award, it all feels so incredibly real, and it’s all thanks to the love and support of our customers.”
