Sarah Sinton of Richard Sinton Jewellers in Newcastle upon Tyne is an increasingly active member of the Association - she recently joined the Steering Group for Education. We spoke to her about the family business. What is the history of Richard Sinton Jewellers? When was it established and by who? My parents Richard and Sue Sinton opened in Queen's Square, Newcastle upon Tyne in 1984. The Square was a redesigned cinema and we were in the original projectionist's room! The store showcased beautiful jewellery as well as objects d'art in a gallery-like environment - unusual at that time. We moved to our current location in Eldon Garden in 1989. We have expanded twice over the past 27 years - last time 10 years ago, to the size we are now, although we make little changes fairly frequently.
