Lisa Grant - Specialising in Special Orders
In the latest of our series where we look at the brilliant people we have working behind the scenes, we're catching up with Lisa Grant from the Buying & Merchandising Team.
What does your role at Fields involve?
I'm on the Buying & Merchandising team and I do special orders. I deal with enquiries from stores if a customer wants to modify one of our products, if they want to change the metal for example, or if they’re looking for a bigger diamond.
I then go and try and source that from our suppliers. I deal with all individual and bespoke orders.
Tell us about your career in the jewellery industry?
I’m in the business a long time, since I left school. I worked in the UK in the jewellery industry and was a manager there and then I came back to Ireland and started with Fields.
I was part-time while having my kids and have gone back to full-time since my kids got a little older. I've moved from a store into the office and I’ve been part of the Buying team for the last six years.
What do you like about working with our company?
I like working in a relatively small company, the culture is really good. It’s a family business originally and you know everybody and I really like that.
It’s definitely a nice place to work, the company have always been really good to their staff. I love the jewellery industry overall too. I’m with the company just over twenty years now.
Do you have any early jewellery memories?
My aunt used to treat us nieces and nephews to pieces when we were younger. I still have bracelets that she bought for me when we were kids. I absolutely love them and have great memories associated with those pieces.
My jewellery is very sentimental to me. I also have some really nice heavy bracelets and necklets from Fields.
What's on your wish list?
There’s always something I want when our new collections come in. I usually treat myself around Christmas, and always something diamond.
This white gold diamond cluster pendant is stunning, I’ll have to get the matching earrings too.
What current jewellery trends do you like?
I like the personalization; name pendants, zodiac pendants and the like. I love the layering look too.
They are perfect when worn on their own or can be accessorised with other hoops or even stud earrings. It can also of course be worn with a number of different earrings to create the seriously on-trend stacked look.
We have a great selection of earrings that you can shop to create your own unique stack.
As it's made from 9 carat yellow gold, it is also durable and long lasting. Its design means it can be worn in casual day to day looks or really stand out in a more elegant outfit at an important event like a wedding.
No jewellery collection would be complete without a statement bracelet. To complete her edit, Rebecca opted for one of our most popular bracelets - the sterling silver gold plated Herringbone Bracelet. We have a wide selection of bracelets and this particular piece exudes elegance.
You can see perfectly it sits alongside Rebecca's smartwatch when worn as part of a casual ensemble, but again this would be perfect when worn with more formal attire on its own or in a stacked wrist look.
