Women’s Jewelry Association Celebrates 25 Years

The Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA) recently held its 25th anniversary celebration at Gracie Mansion in New York City. The event was attended by new and current WJA members, who shared stories and toasted to achievements made by women in the jewelry industry.

The new president of WJA Metropolitan Chapter, Michele Kwiat Siegel, in her welcoming speech called it a “magical evening [bringing] together the rich history of WJA’s members within one of New York’s most prized historical venues.” The honorary guest of the evening was Peggy Kirby, one the founding members of WJA in 1983.
