    Fellowship

Tiffany & Co. and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) have partnered to launch the first-ever Jewelry Designer Award under its respective social impact platforms, Tiffany Atrium and CFDA IMPACT. This inaugural award aims to support the next generation of American jewelry designers, championing those who embody artistic excellence and inventiveness while actively enriching creative expression in the luxury and design industries. Selected participants will engage in a multi-week learning experience and a uniquely curated design challenge dedicated to pushing creative boundaries.
 
The program will take place in New York City, with virtual touchpoints throughout October, November and December of 2024. The Tiffany & Co. x CFDA Jewelry Designer Award Selection Committee will select one final recipient to receive a $50,000 award and a 12-month paid fellowship in Tiffany’s Design department starting February 2025.
 
Please note that applications are considered complete only when both steps are fulfilled—your online application and your video interview submission through iCIMS by 11:59 P.M. EDT on August 16, 2024.
 
Applicants should demonstrate a love of creativity, inventiveness, and extraordinary savoir-faire that has been synonymous with Tiffany & Co. since its establishment in 1837.
 
The multi-week learning experience will take place in New York City from October 8-10 (in-person) the weeks of October 21, November 11 and December 2 (virtual). For a program overview and Q&A, please visit here.
 
The one selected Fellow will be compensated $100,000 for this 12-month assignment commencing February 2025 based in New York City.
