A career in the Retail Jewellery Trade...
When I first started out on my jewellery journey around 20 years ago, I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, I bought loads of jewellery equipment and books from Warrington Collegiate. They had closed down their jewellery years before. I took my Dad and his van and for a small fee, took what I could. As I rearranged the workshop recently, ready for reopening in January (we'll get to that in a minute), I found some of the older books I'd acquired, but never looked at. I have to admit, this one made me laugh. Oh how times have changed!
