I'M sorry to report that another long standing Leigh jeweller is closing her doors after 14 years in the town.

Hot on the heels of the Preston's shutdown Elaine's in Market Street is calling it a day when her lease runs out at the end of the month.

Another sad loss to Leigh as a quality jeweller says goodbye, leaving us once again with cheaper options.

On Tuesday in the clearance sale I almost bought a gold necklace bearing a leaf pendant -- until good customer service kicked in and I was advised I shouldn't really have a cannabis leaf.

Naive me. That would have been the nearest I've ever come to the stuff.

WHILE rifling through bumf from the Sunday papers I noticed a jeweller selling commitment rings -- obviously for those couples unwilling to go the whole hog. Whatever will they think of next?
