IF YOU COULD MAKE OR CHOOSE JEWELLERY FOR ANY ONE PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
Sheridan Smith. I think she is a fantastic actress and a strong personality but also comes across as being quite down to earth. I would imagine she would like something bold and colourful without too much fuss.
FAVOURITE GEMSTONE?
Anything unusual but I truly love agates…however it does depend on the day!
WHAT’S YOUR TOP TIP FOR CUSTOMERS?
Go with your heart when choosing coloured gemstones and don’t be governed by the spec!
