• Jewellery includes beads, silversmith, leather, wood, rock, feathers, or glass distinguishable as a piece of jewellery. This could be as a set of earrings, necklace, bracelet, rings, pendant, broche, but not necessarily as a set, meaning earrings and necklace to match. The setting for the piece of jewellery could be homemade or purchased as a setting for completion. Rope or string can be used to complete the jewellery, such as on a necklace. Gems or pearls not allowed.
• Entries must not be larger than 36 inches square, including frame, if applicable. Framed articles must include a wire for hanging placed across the back of the frame and fastened on each side with a small “eye screw”; wire ends must be finished with masking tape so that the frayed ends of the wire do not injure those hanging the picture.
• Suitability of crafts for this category will be decided at the zone level, but judges as the Provincial Games will have the authority to move entry to a more appropriate category if required.
