Steffans Jewellers hides £1000 worth of Gems around the town
Steffans Jewellers launches a Gemstone Treasure Hunt across Market Harborough.
There’s something sparkling in Market Harborough this week — and it could be yours to find.
Steffans Jewellers is inviting the local community to take part in a five-day gemstone treasure hunt, with a different precious or semi-precious stone being hidden somewhere around Market Harborough each day.
Beginning on Tuesday and continuing through to Saturday, eagle-eyed treasure hunters will have the chance to track down a sapphire, ruby, amethyst, topaz and, for the grand finale, a diamond.
The gemstones being hidden are:
Tuesday — Sapphire
Wednesday — Ruby
Thursday — Amethyst
Friday — Topaz
Saturday — Diamond
The treasure hunt is being organised to celebrate the launch of The Spoke area at Steffans, a space dedicated to giving existing jewellery a new lease of life through resetting and remodelling.
A spokesperson for Steffans said: “Rather than leaving sentimental, inherited or simply unworn pieces tucked away in a jewellery box, Steffans wants to encourage people to rediscover what they already own and explore how those pieces could be transformed into jewellery they will love wearing again.
“An old engagement ring could be given a completely new look, gemstones from inherited jewellery could become part of a contemporary design, or several sentimental pieces could be combined to create something completely individual.”
The gemstone hunt brings that idea out onto the streets of Market Harborough. Each day, a different stone will be waiting to be discovered, building up to Saturday’s ultimate prize — a diamond.
As well as adding a little excitement to the town, the campaign is designed to get people thinking differently about the jewellery they already have.
From Tuesday’s sapphire to Saturday’s diamond, there will be a new reason to keep your eyes peeled around town each day.
The question is: who will find the gems first?
