/ Comments Off on Thank you for your great support over 2016
It's been an incredible 2016. At the start of it I had the launch party for my book The Engagement Ring. It was very exciting and very rewarding too. It came after months of dedication and writing about something that is very close to my heart. What makes it even more rewarding is not that I've sold copies of the book, but that I've managed to help guys buying engagement rings who otherwise might have got it wrong! It had a great premier on ITV London Tonight and has also received some great rev...

One of the most common questions I get asked, other than "Where did you get your good looks from?" is "Have you always wanted to be a jeweller?"
The short answer is no. However how I became a jeweller and how this happened was a bit by chance.
Traditionally most jewellers in Hatton Garden, the jewellery centre of the UK, are in the business because it has been in the family for a few generations. The tradition of bringing your children into your business is something which happened quiet a lot y...

I'm so excited right now! I recently found out that I've been nominated, and subsequently shortlisted, for an industry award. It was only eight months ago that I decided to put together a ready to wear collection of engagement rings, and these are the pieces that have been shortlisted.
The awards night will be held in June at the famous Tower of London as a black tie event. It's the trade version of The Oscars to me and I'm very proud. Thanks you to the people who nominated me. I suppose...

Most people will have heard by now of what may be the largest jewellery heist of the modern era. I am of course referring to the robbery of the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit during April 2015’s Easter weekend.
The fact that the thieves have got away (for now) with hundreds of millions of pounds worth of diamonds, gold and jewellery, should have jewellery-lovers asking themselves some serious questions. Namely: Is my jewellery adequately covered? Is my jewellery valuation up to date? When did I last...

It all seems like a dream now, but what a great evening I had last Monday. The event was the Global Gift Foundation Gala dinner and the venue was the Four Seasons Hotel on Park Lane in London. I was invited a few months ago to participate with this great charitable cause. After a bit of research I accepted. I didn't have to do that much research to see that the Global Gift Foundation's mission is to affect positive change on the development, welfare, healthcare and social inclusion of the most v...
