London, 15th May 2009: Thorn Jewellery is extremely proud to be shortlisted for the “Jewellery Website of the Year” at the UK Jewellery Awards 2009. The winners will be announced at the prestigious awards presentation on Thursday 16 July 2009 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London to an audience of celebrities, industry heavyweights and hopeful newcomers.

In only the second year that jewellery websites have been included as an award category, Thorn Jewellery displayed sufficient design quality and other attributes in its unique mens jewellery website to be placed among the six finalists. Other category nominees included a mix of high street chains, independent designer makers and other retail specialists alike.

Thorn was among the finalists because it met with clear selection criteria. “What every one of the websites shortlisted has are really well-designed websites, and this was ultimately the deciding factor in them making the shortlist.” Frances Murch, Deputy Editor, Retail Jeweller, 15 May 2009.
