I first met Steve Wilkinson when he had a lovely shop in Stoneygate, Leicester. He was the only jeweller in Leicester stocking Alex Monroe jewellery and I bought a pair of earrings, that he then reinforced the posts for me.
Since then he has moved to Market Harborough, which would be a drive for me, except I go a couple of times a month anyway so I’ve kept going to the new shop too.
Steve is very friendly and will always take the time to have a chat if the shops not busy, which actually unless you go at 9.30am on a Monday morning he usually has a string of customers in need of his help.
I have taken several repairs, all of which I have been more than happy with. Steve has also fixed a couple of vintage pieces for me, even he thought were unfixable at first look. And quite reasonably too. He’s also been very kind and even added a pearl to a vintage necklace to make it wearable again for no charge.
He also is a designer, I haven’t had anything remade into something new but I have overheard a couple of
Ladies in his shop extolling his virtue in this regard too.
Steve is one of those people who will just help if he can.

What’s important to me? I am not flash or fancy. I am a little bit chubby and my hair, nails, etc are usually a mess. I prefer to be comfortable than dressed up that said I work hard, earn a decent amount of money I like to spend on overseas travel and collecting vintage jewellery which I buy and don’t wear. I am happier tracking in South America or on safari exploring animal sanctuaries and nature reserves across Africa where I have visited on five different occasions, Ghana, Senegal in West Africa, South Africa and Sudan and Kenya on the East coast. I would love to visit Victoria falls and see the Gorillas in Uganda. I am a vegetarian and don’t smoke but enjoy a glass of decent wine and love tasting local wine when I travel. I am a Capricorn
