Rachel Turner
I have been in the jewellery sales trade for a total of 12 years. Within this time I have been trained to identify metals, and have a good knowledge base of diamonds along with other stones. I enjoy meeting with people and listening to what Julian suggests and recommends as a professional. It feels like a real sense of achievement when clients come in with a very basic idea, to seeing them walk out the door with this amazingly beautiful piece of jewellery that they fall in love with.
I enjoy helping people and making them feel comfortable about the decisions they are making. I hope to have many years ahead in this rewarding industry. Whilst having obvious breaks to have 2 children, Danielle aged 5 and Jonathan aged 2, my other interests would have to be being a mum, looking after my large garden and of course being with friends.
