Sharing the Sparkle at Barnsgrove
Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting our Tailored Encounters event at the beautiful Barnsgrove, in collaboration with NFU and Black Chalk Wine, and wonderful photography from Christina Liticia . It was a truly magical evening filled with laughter, lovely conversations, and plenty of sparkle.
The event started with introductions from Jo from Barnsgrove, Mark from the NFU and Mitch from Petra Jewellery.
Our VIP guests enjoyed three exclusive workshops designed to open up the world of jewellery:
Jo shared her expertise on how we value jewellery, guiding guests through assessing their own pieces with confidence. Looking for details in the setting, how to find the hallmarks and even the year your jewellery was made.
Rosie brought the sparkle to life with a fascinating diamond workshop, showing guests how to become diamond graders themselves. Exploring the 4 C’s (cut, colour, clarity and carat), everyone got hands-on with a selection of hand-picked top quality diamonds.
Abi led a vibrant session exploring the world of coloured gemstones, showcasing a unique selection of sapphires, rubies, emeralds and more. Guests were able to get up close and personal with gems bursting with colour and character. Sharing their own stories and personal connections to the gemstones whilst exploring them up close with a jewellers loupe.
Meanwhile, our incredible goldsmith Behzad worked at his bench, carefully setting a sparkling diamond into a beautiful rubover pendant, giving everyone a glimpse into the craftsmanship that makes Petra Jewellery so special.
The evening wasn’t just about learning, it was about connection. We loved hearing your stories, over a glass of Blackchalk wine, and enjoying conversations that made the night truly memorable.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a wonderful event. We look forward to seeing you again soon for one of our other in-house experiences, where we’ll keep #SharingTheSparkle with you.
