As Jessica says about her business journey:
"I have certainly made my fair share of mistakes, but mostly learnt a lot along the way about jewellery and business and how they work best together."
Jessica is now using her experience and knowledge gained to support and train budging jewellers. She mainly does that through Jewellers Academy, an online space for jewellers to get support, business guidance and by developing courses to help people grow and become the amazing jewellers they are!
