TREASURE TALK:  A Consumer’s Guide to Buying Fine Jewellery and Diamonds

As part of London Jewellery Week, The Birmingham Assay Office will host 3 workshops and Jewellery Clinics during  the Treasure Exhibition which is being held at Victoria House, Southampton Row, in London’s Bloomsbury.

The Workshops will take place on Friday 12th June at 1.30, 3.30 and 5.30pm.  This will be followed by a Jewellery Clinic after each session.

‘Treasure Talk’ will be presented by Dr. Sally Baggott, Curator at The Birmingham Assay Office who will talk about consumer protection, the origin of hallmarking, how to read and understand a hallmark and the vital role hallmarks play today.  Following this Craig O’Donnell, an experienced Senior Valuer, from the SafeGuard Independent Jewellery, Watch and Silverware Valuation Service, will discuss what to look for when buying diamonds and the significance of the ‘5Cs’.
