And congratula...Thanks for your kind words, Divya! And congratulations to you on having a piece selected too! I did have 6 pieces chosen and I'm so excited about it! But I did send them 12 to look at. ;) This was the first time that I just set out to make as many pieces as possible for as many categories as I could and just sent it all.

I think I was just a bit surprised that they didn't pick my druzy piece. :) I always look at designing for magazines a win win situation. Best case, they choose something... worst case, I've made some new jewelry! Best of luck to you too!

I purchased specific components for my necklace submissions for the same issue and none were chosen. I've been submitting my work for more than 4 years and have had a few pieces selected, which does feel great. I wish they provided a bit of feedback as guidance. Take a look at the selections that are published as inspiration - asymmetrical is frequently there.

I am surprised that it was not selected.Butif am not wrong with my calculation you must have 6 pieces in the issue - wow! I made around 5 pieces (remade some of them 2-3 times)and then selected 3 of that and sent. I am thankful though that they have picked one.
