    Default Hi!

    Hi all, I'm Jo, & I've recently (05/10/10) opened a small jewellery shop in Leicestershire.

    It's going well so far, lots to do, and with 2 small children it's difficult as I can only be open 3 days of the week. Just wanted to introduce myself

    Hi Peter, I make a bit of everything, from wedding & engagement rings to bespoke designs back to traditional - I recently made at 18ct yellow gold "Dearest" ring!

    Hello!

    Would love to see some of your jewellery! What part of Leicestershire is your shop in? I'd love to some day have a bricks and mortar shop but it seems like such a huge commitment.

    Hi Emily, I'm in Burbage - between Coventry & Leicester. It was a huge leap as my children are only 2 & 4, but the rent is low & we just had to go for it. I'll see if I can attach some pictures... What kind of thing do you do?

    Hi Jo, I like the ring, very nice. I hope your venture into the "shop world" goes better than mine did. Lol. All history now, but annoying and frustrating at the time.

    Hi Jo and a warm welcome from me too. Your jewellery looks FAB to me, I especially like the pod earrings and would think looking at your pieces you should be busy in the lead up to Christmas.

    Sorry, having asked what you make it would be polite for me to acknowledge you did so! Like the style of both pieces - just one thing made me twitch slightly is that the point on the pear stone looks exposed (and possibly vulnerable?).

    Hi Jo, I'm a newcomer too. It sounds as if the shop's going well. Do you do repair work as I found this was a nice steady source of income?
