Helen Plumb, an internationally recognised gemmologist, is delighted to explain about the fascinating world of gemstones. A true gemstone enthusiast, Helen is keen to promote the importance of education amongst jewellers and their customers. She regularly speaks to audiences large or small on many aspects of gemstones. Most recently she has introduced minerals and gemstones to school children; talked about synthetic and treated diamonds to The Cavalry and Guards Club; demonstrated the amazing array of coloured gemstones to the Bank of Scotland Private Banking clients; and spoken to the Travelling Surgical Society about how to buy jewellery abroad. She also participates in fund-raising events for local charities, donating her time as an after dinner speaker. She likes to make the subject of gemmology accessible to an unscientific audience.
