John and Sarah Holmes are co-owners and designers of John Trueman Jewellery, the name derived from middle names of their two sons.

John has been in the trade for 21 years. His training at the bench began in Yorkshire on leaving school, but he took a five year break to join the Royal Marines, seeing active service in the first Gulf war. A medical discharge form the forces led him to return to the Jewellery industry once again. Although a trade business was well established John decided to progress into a retail Jewellery shop.

John is the inspiration and the creator. Sarah is a Nurse Practitioner, and also assists in the shop part-time. Sarah has always had an artistic ability, attending a diamond grading course with her husband in Antwerp ignited her interest and aspiration to design and create bespoke designs including semi precious necklaces.

Our business has been built on a foundation of honesty and affordability. In a competitive market word of mouth advertising is imperative. All repairs,remodeling and manufacture is carried out on the premises this is reassuring for the customer but also enables us to provide a very competitive service.
