Della Tinsley - Director, Jewellery Week
'It is especially pleasing to welcome the return of Jewellery Week to Greenwich following on from the magnificent success of last year's events in the newly created Royal Borough. Greenwich is such a vibrant part of London and we believe that Johnny Rockets'
