The romance behind
A WEDDING RING Wedding rings have been worn in many cultures since the time of the ancient Egyptians and these rings throughout the ages have symbolised love, devotion, commitment and a powerful bond between families, tribes and kingdoms. The precious materials within a wedding ring are also symbols of love and devotion. Gold is a symbol of true and perfect love that is “as good as gold”, while platinum is the most precious and pure of metals that can remain untarnished. Many couples also choose to have diamonds set in their wedding rings as ‘forever’ stones that express eternal love. A new trend among couples is to have their rings engraved, often on the inside of the bands, with the date of their wedding or a message of love. New laser technology means that signatures, handwritten messages and even
8
fingerprints can now be etched onto the wedding rings. Traditional wedding ring designs include Celtic styles and Russian bands, made of interlocking rings. New ring styles include a fusion of white and yellow gold, while rose gold rings are becoming more popular. But for everyday wear, platinum or palladium rings are the metals most jewellers recommend, as these metals are harder and more scratchresistant than gold and, unlike white gold, will not tarnish or darken over time. Traditionally in the UK, wedding rings have been worn on the third finger of the left hand, which the ancients believed contained a vein leading directly to the heart. Although in Eastern Orthodox tradition, the wedding ring is worn on the right hand and in India, some brides wear a toe ring or a bangle as well as a wedding ring.

The Stamford Shakespeare Company
As You Like It, 2014 Season
A summer evening at the Rutland Open Air theatre to see a production by the members of the Stamford Shakespeare Company is a magical experience. The fabulous open air stage and the English parkland is the perfect setting for the Rutland Open Air Theatre nestling in the grounds of the Elizabethan Tolethorpe Hall, just off the A1 near Stamford Lincolnshire. Throughout the summer months ( June 2nd to August 22nd ) the Stamford Shakespeare Company will be offering two Shakespeare plays: “Henry V”, “Romeo & Juliet” and our non-Shakespeare play, “Tom Jones” based on the novel by Henry Fielding.

CASH IN THE ATTIC? Gold has never been so valuable – which might mean taking a second look at any old, broken, unwanted and unloved gold A proper rummage through the house for old bits of gold jewellery can bring big benefits. Old jewellery boxes, under the sofa and the backs of drawers can be likely areas to find hidden treasures that you can bring in to us for expert valuation and the best prices on the high street. If your jewellery is broken or damaged, you could be surprised at what it fetches. Look for old broken chains, scratched old rings or smashed brooches. Even odd earrings, cufflinks or old gold butterfly backs can be worth selling and you can even get cash for defunct dentistry such as old gold crowns! As your trusted family jeweller, we can offer our customers the reassurance that we will buy old and broken gold jewellery for the very best prices.
18
We can also advise you on the value of your jewellery and if it would make more on the antique market or to be resold as a collectors piece rather than being sold for scrap. For instance, an 18 carat piece of jewellery with an important makers mark, like Cartier or Boucheron is certain to fetch more than its scrap metal value. Don’t forget that you don’t have to sell your gold. Often we can re-melt it to make new jewellery, keeping the sentimentality within the piece, or part-exchange your old gold for something shiny and new.
