SPOTLIGHT
Following in his
father's footsteps...
George Willgrass has joined the family business, but
he's approaching the trade with a modern-day twist.
Born the son of a jeweller, it was
inevitable that George Willgrass
would follow in the footsteps of
his father; Anthony Willgrass
and grandfather Sidney Willgrass. By
using social media, videos and blogs,
George hopes to pursue the jewellery
trade in a more modern-day form.
By using suppliers and manufacturers
related to his father's business, George
has been able to source and supply highend
watches and jewellery to his friends
and colleagues worldwide. "I have
travelled a lot over the past two years and
met a lot of high net worth individuals
in different fields. Most recently I spent
time in Dubai and met one of the most
prestigious jewellers in the world who was
happy to offer advice about networking
and building relationships."
Having attended Millfield Prep and
Millfield School, George was introduced
to fellow pupils of different backgrounds,
nationalities and cultures, many of whom
he still sees regularly.
Excitingly, George has sourced an
exclusive brand of handmade jewellery
from Paris "Atelier Paulin" which is
available from Stott and Willgrass.
The brand is extremely appealing to all
clientele with prices ranging from £100
up to £5000 plus. "All items can be
made in 14ct rose and yellow gold and
18ct rose and yellow gold. The unique
concept of Atelier Paulin is that we
are able to hand-make bespoke items
such as necklaces, bracelets and rings
for requested specifications. The most
popular request being names, initials
and symbols entwined on the item. The
pieces make for perfect presents, whether
you're looking for a friend, partner or
parent - they are also great for wedding

and christening presents. In addition,
precious stones can be added to enhance
a particular item and make it exclusive to
the individual." •
