A RETIRED goldsmith with over 60 years of experience helped jewellery enthusiasts make their own trinkets.

Trev Edwards hosted the event at The Mix Community Space in Mill Street, Wantage, earlier this month.

Lucy Print, 38, who made a bracelet, said: “It was lots of fun and I’m going away with a lovely silver bracelet.

“The jewellery I made is really pretty.

“I can’t wait to wear it when I get home.”

Mr Edwards said: “The people who came were quite handy when it came to making jewellery.

“I showed them the skills and they made the jewellery themselves, walking away with it on their wrists after two hours.”

Mr Edwards provided all the resources himself.
