Tucson, Ariz. Mar. 9, 2020. Thank you to all who joined us at the CPAA’s International Pearl Design Competition (IPDC) awards ceremony and the annual Pearl Soiree held during the American Gem Trade Association’s (AGTA) GemFair Tucson, Feb. 4–9 in Tucson, Ariz. The IPDC ceremony and Soiree both happened on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the CPAA booth at AGTA and Café à la C’Art, respectively.

The party would not have been possible without the financial support of our sponsors. CPAA is so grateful to them for their support! See their logos below. Play the video below to see a selection of photos, taken by David Brown. Finally, save the date for next year’s party, set for Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021!
