I lost my engagement ring. I had often walked past ‘Just Gems’ in Cults, Aberdeen but following the loss, I decided to have a look in the shop window to see if there was any ring on show similar to mine. Although the shop was officially closed, Helen welcomed me into the shop to discuss what I required.
It was immediately apparent that Helen was an expert and knew precisely what I was looking for. She showed me stones which would have been good replacements but she thought she could do better if I could wait. Following a trip to Burma, Helen phoned to say that she had sourced stones which she thought would suit me. I was not disappointed. We discussed the design of the new ring and she was able to show me a computer simulation of what the final ring might look like.
I was thrilled with the ring when it arrived after a few weeks. It is almost identical to the ring I lost. I could have gone to high street jewellers and bought a ring similar to the one I lost but I was pleased that I went to Helen Plumb at Just Gems. There I got excellent service from someone who obviously knew her business. The workmanship on the ring is first class and my ring has been admired by many.
It is a pity that Just Gems is moving south but what is Aberdeen’s loss will be the Cotswolds gain. We wish her all the best for a successful business in Winchcombe.

Thanks again for a great evening. The gemology talk was really interesting… if not nearly a little dangerous. My god I loved that opal ring!
