With a lack of space even with the two shops Jim opts for a purpose built jewellery
workshop behind the Cow Wynd storefront, giving Stephen and Gordon the space to expand the business and invest in some new equipment.
1991
1996
Jim and Rae's two daughters Fiona and Pamela are also employed during the nineties as are Rae's two sisters Margaret and Anne.
As Jim and Rae consider retirement an opportunity arose to own a shop on Falkirk High Street, Stephen and Gordon then took over the jewellery shop and moved right next to the iconic Falkirk Steeple where they still are to this day, a small shop but perfect for the brand.
