Hello September!
Can you believe September is here already? The summer is almost over, we’ve seen Wimbledon and the Olympics come and go, it’s back to school with early starts again, the BBC proms are coming to an end and Autumn is on the horizon.
But don’t worry, there are still lovely things to look forward to in September. For those fashion conscious fans we have fashion week in New York and London so expect social media feeds to be showcasing the latest looks and predicted trends for Winter 2024/2025.
Timothy Roe will be off to the annual London Jewellery Trade Show to catch up with our colleagues, suppliers and industry friends whilst sourcing beautiful stones, gaining insights to the latest trends to bring you new designs and refreshing our knowledge on all things jewellery and gemstones. It should be a great trip. You can also expect to see new pieces coming through the workshop in the following weeks so keep an eye on our Instagram and website!
Important notices:
Repairs and alterations: We are still experiencing long lead times for repairs and alterations. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please do call ahead to see when we have new slots available and for the latest updates.
September Sapphires!
Sapphires and top quality coloured gems soar in price:
Market reports show that sapphires and top quality gems like emeralds and rubies have steadily been increasing in price, and therefore value, consistently since the pandemic. Our gemstone broker colleagues have also confirmed this and we have experienced a steady increase when we’ve purchased stones for customers and stock. If you’ve had your heart set on these beautiful stones now would be a great time to buy your dream sapphire, ruby or emerald jewellery. Read more here:
Important dates for your diary:
From the Blog:
Bespoke commissions take approximately 6- 8 weeks so if you are thinking about getting some pieces made for Christmas gifts then it might be a good idea to check in for a consultation and start thinking about ideas. If you’re unsure about going bespoke have a read of our July article and let’s put to rest some of those old myths. Learn about the different types of gold in our August article and are diamonds really forever? Find out more in our June article.

We want to share our congratulations to Melanie who got married this summer! We wish her much love and happiness.
Our wonderful goldsmith Renata is taking a break from the bench for a while but we have Graeme joining the workshop team and he has many years of experience behind him so we are excited to welcome him to our atelier!

For fun and for you to get to know our goldsmiths better we thought we would ask them a few questions about their work. Starting with our head goldsmith Dimitrios. Click the drop-down tab for the answers!
