Two years this Apri. It has gone by very quickly.

What do you enjoy about the role?

I love seeing the new stock coming in and meeting different people every day, but also being able to choose the stock we have. We meet so many different people and they all have a different reason for shopping with us. I feel very honoured to be part of someone’s special occasion and to help people choose the perfect gift.

What's your favourite piece or style of jewellery?

There are too many to choose from! I love jewellery in all styles and from all eras. To pick a single piece would be too difficult.

What is your favourite stone and why?

Difficult as I have two. I love Diamonds. Diamond is my birthstone but also it’s just timeless and goes with anything and everything. You can’t beat the sparkle of a diamond. I also love Tanzanite. I love the colours you get from a high quality Tanzanite. The deep rich purples and blue colours and flashes of red as it reflects the light.

You completed the Professional Jewellers Management Diploma (P.J. Man Dip.) with a Grade A Distinction, what kind of thing did you study?

I first completed the Jet 1 and Jet 2 diplomas, then the P.J. Man. Dip. I learned about the full range of professional jewellery skills, including hallmarks and their legal requirements, gemstones, precious metals, design and crafting quality, and watches, including their design and how the different types of timepiece movement work. It’s a fascinating subject area.
