Primo Japan Inc. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Naoki Sawano), operator of bridal jewelry specialty stores, was recently named “Brand of the Year – Retail” at the 2013 JNA Awards.

 

The JNA Awards were established in 2012 by UBM, the publisher of Jewelry News Asia and other publications, in an effort to recognize companies and brands that have made significant contributions to the industry or whose activities have been particularly outstanding in the course of each year. The selection committee features names from some of the biggest players in the jewelry industry. This year’s second annual event included 90 entries from 13 countries—primarily in Asia (including Hong Kong), but also Europe—competing in 13 categories.

 

On September 14 (Saturday), 600 individuals from 11 countries and regions gathered at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong for the JNA Awards ceremony. Primo Japan Inc. was the first Japanese company to win an award and receive a trophy.
