Since June 2021 Helen has also been based at Ainsworth Jewellers working alongside husband Phil. From engagement to anniversaries, self-purchase or a celebrating a precious moment in time, Helen uses her expertise to ensure the jewellery you take home is not only beautiful, but also a reflection of you.

In the form of a bespoke commissions, repairs or remodelling of forgotten jewellery lying unworn in a jewellery box, Helen will help you reveal your own story to find you your perfect, personal piece.

Helen loves the stories, sentiments, history, and romance that can draw us toward jewellery. Her innate warmth and affection and trusted authority promises to guide her clients through what can sometimes be a bewildering, perhaps daunting, process of choosing diamonds and gemstones, to deciding on a design, and then finally arriving at the perfect piece. To quote Helen “I love people and I love jewellery, my role is to bring the two together”
