The Andrea Palladio International Jewellery Awards, which took place Jan. 19 at the VicenzaOro jewelry show in Vicenza, Italy, honored both emerging designers and icons of the jewelry industry at a spirited presentation that closed the first day of the popular fair.

The evening began with a spotlight performance of Beyoncé’s “Halo” by singer Loretta Grace, who moved slowly through the audience (eventually taking the stage) as she belted out the powerful hit.

The evening’s dynamic host, Paola Maugeri, presented the nine awards—which celebrate excellence in contemporary jewelry in the fields of design, production, retail, communication, and corporate social responsibility—with assists by several co-presenters.

Here are this year’s winners:
