… about how I now sell antique rings?
Once upon a time (only joking) … Some of you know that I have a background relating to history and the care of old buildings, I’ve always had an appreciation for craftsmanship, things made, before mechanisation and mass production came along.
I used to watch Geoffrey Munn on the Antiques Roadshow and listen to him talk about precious jewels – I still do. He inspired me to go and learn how to make them and the rest is history.
Antique jewellery is beautiful, much of it was handmade – whether that’s the mount itself (the metal that holds the stones) or the beautiful gemstones and diamonds, many of which would have been cut and faceted by hand back in the day.
Buying antique jewellery is fabulously sustainable, very good value for money and if you choose wisely you’ll also get something pretty unique. For me, it’s a perfect combination. It’s another way in which I can further my commitment to sustainability in my business – new or old, my jewellery will always be as sustainable as possible.
