COMPANY PROFILE 113 RONIN JEWELLERY T: 01269 826000 www.ronindesigns.co.uk always design with the season in mind. What sets you apart from your competitors? We design and make all our jewellery in our studio – we are proud of the fact that our brand is British made. We are based in South Wales, employing local people. Also, our jewellery is very popular for gifts and comes in excellent quality gift boxes. How are you finding the current climate in the UK? Is it affecting business? We have been as busy as ever over the last year, our new ranges have been very well received and we continue to find new U.K stockists. Fingers crossed it continues! How do you view the future of independent retail post-pandemic? Customer service is absolutely key these days, building a great customer relationship and shopping experience will keep people coming back. Are you active on social media? How is this important for the business? We use Facebook and Instagram. We always make sure we take a lot of photos of new ranges, putting more effort these days into styling because we know how necessary it is for social media. It also means we can support our stockists by providing them with images for use on their own social media accounts. Do you have any advice for new businesses starting out in the world of gifts? Have a clear vision and stick to it. What can we expect in the future from the company? We are known for our colourful jewellery, but we still want to persuade more people to embrace colour. Jewellery doesn’t have to just be silver or gold! We really hope we can continue to increase our stockists in the U.K.
