The winners were honored at the annual WJA Awards Dinner, held on February 2, 1992 at the Harmonie Club in New York City.
Donna Chambers, owner of Donna Chambers Design, Inc. of White Plains, New York, was honored with the Excellence in Manufacturing Award for her fifteen-year tenure in the industry. She began working in jewelry repair before moving into jewelry design. A recipient of the International Pearl Design Contest Award, she has the distinction of being one of the only two African-American women exhibitors at the Jewelers of America Show. At the helm now of her own manufacturing firm, Chambers’ most recent venture was the opening of a gift gallery, “That Old Black Magic,” where she displays the work of over 50 American artists and designers.
