Jewelry Television (JTV), the privately held jewelry and gemstone shopping network, has announced an initiative to bring new designers and manufacturers into its ranks.

The program, called JTV Invites You, will be ongoing and invites any interested designers to submit an application and images through JTV’s website. The merchandising team will review applications and issue invitations to its headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn. 

“It’s not often that jewelry designers get this kind of opportunity to advance their careers,” said Kris Kulesza, vice president and general merchandise manager at JTV. “We’re providing artists the chance to have their collections sold on national television, and manufacturers will have an opportunity to grow their companies.”

The call for submissions says JTV is looking for “new ideas and unique sellable jewelry designs that will appeal to existing and new JTV customers.” The application is available at www.jtv.com/connect.
