I met you yesterday at the Alpaca Futurity, and my husband treated me to a gorgeous Amethyst pendant and chain, I shall be telling all my friends!!! Many thanks, and hope to see you again soon.

We met you in Newark and were overawed by the range and colours of your jewellery and crystals. We are both delighted with our purchases and hope to see you at Lincoln.

I met you in Masham when I bought some beautiful earrings which I lost and had to return to buy some more. I really enjoyed your brilliant display and although we are a small Yorkshire town, I'm pleased that I could experience such quality work.

I can't believe the display of beautiful and unusual jewellery and crystals you have for sale! Can't wait to see you again in June.

I am the person who bought the beautiful piece of Chrysocolla at Taunton yesterday. Just to say that I really did feel a connection - both with you and the stone - which has quite a strange pull on me. This is even more strange given that I am a very 'practical' girl not normally given to these feelings! I do hope our paths cross again, Ruth. Maybe we can keep in touch.....Linda

I did enjoy your fantastic display in the Gridshell at the Weald and Downland Museum. I bought a lovely turquoise for carrying in my purse.

Wonderful website, very easy to root around in, hope to see you again soon.

Keep up the good work

Best wishes

It was a pleasure to meet you at Northampton on Saturday and Sunday. I am the lady who purchased the Mookite necklace and earrings which are beautiful as was your display. Thank you for your kindness and I do hope you will be there next year.
My very best wishes to a lovely lady.

I was on holiday in Conwy North Wales last week when I met you. When I saw your beautifully displayed jewellery, I could not resist. Returned with four necklaces from your stall - 3 are for myself and one for my mother-in-law. It was lovely meeting you in Conwy - I very much enjoy wearing the jewellery. Thank you.

Hello Ruth. My husband and I met you at Helmsley and I couldn't believe just how beautiful and well made your jewellery is. I bought a pearl necklace and matching earings as well as another pair of amethyst earings.You have such patience to spend so much time making all of these wonderful pieces for us. We look forward to seeing you again

Hi Ruth,
I am wearing the Rhodachrosite and rhodonite necklace that you made for me. It has the desired effect every time I put it on! Emily and I are so pleased that Hartley Witney is on your show list for this year; we do hope that it is confirmed and we will see you there! We both wish you a wonderful year. Sue

I came across your lovely display of crystals and jewellery at Tunbridge Wells Wellbeing on Sunday and my husband bought me a carnelian necklace which I absolutely love. I think your jewellery is stunning and original and feels lovely to wear..and I hope to visit again when you next are in Sussex. In the meantime I will look to your site for items that appear for sale. I think the jewellery is so nice I would like to build a collection. Thank you.Susie Hutchings.

Dear Susie
what a delight it was to meet you both and so glad you like my jewellery. I do hope you can come and see me at Firle in April.
I would be more than delighted for you to build a collection and of course I can 'make to measure'!
See you soon
Love Ruthx

I've just bought three pairs of earrings at the Duntreath open day. I love them and would have loved to get more; greedy! Each pair was so individual, and I couldn't believe the range of sumptuous stones you had on display. I'd love to see close-ups of your work on your website. Hope to see you at another fair.

We rashly visited Ruth's stand first at the craft show at Stowe Bucks on Bank Holiday Monday (sorry other jewellery stands) - Be warned people, if you love original, well made, beautiful jewellery and have cash or worse - your credit card on you - you are lost. There is no way out as there is so much stuff in all shapes, colours and varieties, you will find 'just what you've been looking for'....and then oooh there's another.....
It was all such good value and thereby oh so much more tempting.
Ruth is also hilariously down to earth and entertaining, I can't remember genuinely laughing so much whilst parting with cash before (I'm Scottish so it's a hard thing to acheive).
Thank you Ruth, it was a pleasure to meet you and my necklaces (& matching bracelets and earrings!!!) are all so lovely.
PS What really made a difference is that with so much general banter & exchange of information going on all the time you were free to browse with no pressure to buy, a relaxed, cheery, atmosphere - all in a tiny open fronted tent.

My daughter and I visited Ruth at the Waters Edge craft show in Barton and I bought a lovely pearl necklace for my daughters upcoming birthday. All the jewellery looked absolutely fabulous and is so well made. I am looking forward to Ruth returning nearer Christmas when I just might have to treat myself. Helen

Hi Ruth,

Just wanted to express my thanks for your kindness and caring attention at Tissington last weekend. You have a wonderful selection of jewellery and a sparkling personality to match. It was great to meet with someone so special who has such a wonderful gift with both her customers and her beautiful creations. I felt as though I'd known you for years although we'd only just met. I shall wear my necklace and earrings with such joy. See you again in the future and good luck with all your forthcoming events.

Just a note to say grateful thanks to Ruth who very kindly replaced a pair of Pearl earrings, one of which was lost on holiday in Austria, and was part of a very pretty and unusual set. All for no cost!!!! I shall certainly visit her beautiful stand again but beware ladies if you do there may be no money left for quilts !!!!
Grateful thanks again Ruth

I am so pleased with the jewellery I have purchased from Ruth. I visited her stall at the Loseley Garden Show this year and bought a beautiful necklace. We then had a discussion about a long lapis necklace that I had inherited from my mother in law and which I wanted redesigned. Ruth was very helpful and went on to design and make a fantastic necklace and 3 bracelets using the beads from the original. Ruth gave enormous value for money. I am delighted with the results. I do hope to see you again next year.

Hi Ruth, Mum and I just wanted to thank you for all of the kindness, patience and wealth of knowledge that you shared with us at Uttoxeter. I know we didn't try on every piece of jewellery that you had on display but I don't think we were far off! The jewellery that did come home with us will be treasured and the hematite earrings are definitely at the top of the list - thank you. It was so lovely to meet you and we hope to see you in the future.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ruth at Cressing Temple. Her stall is beautiful and full of the most gorgeous jewellery. Ruth is lovely and is the perfect seller. I bought a few pieces and hope to meet again so I can add some more jewellery to my collection. Thank you. Amanda (the fudge lady)

I was really lucky to see Ruth again at another show. Her stall was by far the most inviting of all the jewellery sellers. I have added some more gorgeous pieces to my Collection. Ruth you really are my gemstone fairy godmother!! My only "complaint " is that I might not see you for a little while! Thank you once again. love Amanda

I bought Aventurine Studs in Greek Style settings from the lady at the Foxton Locks Festival on 18/06/2017. Basically, I just love 'these studs' they're so pretty.
Thank you very much.

Hey Ruth!

It was such a pleasure to meet you on the plane flying back from Lanzarote! We had a great long chat for the entire time we were above the clouds. You gave me advice on teaching and gem stones and you were a delight to talk to and get to know. I have been looking at your jewellery on this site and it is all absolutely stunning! You have my email address and I hope you keep in contact and thank you for helping me carve my route in life!

Much love,

Annabella xxxxx

Once again it was my pleasure to see Ruth at a show. I absolutely love the pieces of jewellery I bought. Ruth's stall is gorgeous and I would love to own the whole stall. Not only that, Ruth is such a lovely lady. I can't wait to see her in a few weeks time so I can add to my collection. xx

We visited your stall at Hyde Hall on 4th May and bought a lovely Saphire necklace which we are pleased with. During our chat we discovered that Sue lived in Rugby in the 1950's not very far from your address. Sue lived in Rainsbrook House, Onley Lane. The lovely old mansion house was on the site of the now Miniature Railway Club. Sue also went to the Paddocks School which you know well!!
It was grat to meet someone who knew the places where I had been so happy.
