In June 2023 I was delighted to be named BEST JEWELLER IN SURREY by Muddy Stilettos, the stylish UK lifestyle website. This was an award voted for by the public, so it really meant so much to me that it was our customers who were supporting the Sprite.
I’m hugely proud to be a Surrey local, and love that we have regulars at the various fairs and markets in the surrounding area. For Sprite shoppers to know that they’ll always find me at the monthly Thames Ditton Farmer’s Market stops them having to travel to a nearby town to buy their gifts. And they always tell me how much they enjoy listening to me telling them how I designed the piece, or what I saw of the production process when visiting the workshops in India.
In lockdown we all started shopping locally, and – while I’m a big fan of all things High Street Retail – there’s no doubt there’s more intimacy and warmth to shopping with a small local independent.
Thanks again, people of Surrey! The Sprite salutes you!
