Genna Design meets Judy Murray

 

So it was a few weeks ago now that I got the opportunity to meet Judy Murray, the successful tennis coach, (not just Andy Murray’s mum!)

 

When the opportunity arose for me to attend the ASB (Association for Scottish Businesswomen) conference, in Perth and present Judy Murray with a pair of earrings I had to just go for it as this was an amazing opportunity for me to raise my profile.

The earrings are from a new silver collection which I haven’t put on sale on the website yet. I made a special version of the silver earrings, just for Judy. This new collection which I have named Fan (As I made a little set for Judy and I am a fan of her, I know cheese!), after researching the type of jewellery she usually wears.

This collection is inspired by a walk I had with my friend Jennifer Robson in Ladybank Forest. I was attracted to a tree trunk that was cut in an irregular way. The edges and layers of the cutting were different heights and textures which inspired me to make this new collection. I have created three different sizes and these earrings are from the smallest of the shapes. I saw Judy wore the same necklaces which had sentimental value, so I decided to gift her a pair of studs as having short hair she really suits small earrings.

When I went to the conference I thought the organisers of the ASB conference were going to present the earrings with her gift of flowers. However, I was invited on stage in front of everyone, where I presented the earrings to Judy Murray, herself.

 

It was a really exciting moment. She really is an Unstoppable Women. It was really inspiring hearing her story of how she has faught in a male dominated sport to get to being Scotland’s Tennis Coach. Judy is an ambassador for promoting tennis in Scotland and has various clubs to encourage females getting into tennis.

My family bought me a voucher for a 1:1 workshop to make a silver ring for my Birthday. Genna's workshops are informative in the process of jewellery making and good fun. Genna has a lovely teaching style.

Best of all you go home with a beautiful ring you made.

I would definitely do another workshop and if I could give Genna 10 stars I would. Thank you.

Genna design recently carried out a repair on my wife's engagement ring. I could not fault Genna's workmanship and the cost of the repair was very competitive. I would not hesitate to return in the future.

Genna created my engagement and wedding ring and they are absolutely beyond perfect! She really took her time at the initial consultation and went over all of the tiniest details - when we got the pictures of the finished rings I was totally blown away - they were exactly what I had pictured in my head, if not better!!

Genna, it was lovely to meet you last evening and I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the beautiful necklace. It is truly gorgeous. What a talent you have. I've not taken it off since last Thursday! I was even wearing it for Crufts all weekend!

Keep following your dream!

Today my mother enjoyed her Christmas treat from us – a four hour ring making class with jeweller Genna Delaney. She totally loved it and has made a wonderful ring. She reckons Genna is a natural teacher. As a former head teacher she’s good at spotting such talents. If you want to learn jewellery making then Genna is the person to see!

Genna has lots of lovely jewellery to buy. The best things are bespoke though. She made me a few unique items using much loved heirlooms and updating them.
