Deirdre & The Ruby Ring

Episode 3 of 5

James Peak buys bits and pieces for Tony’s antique stall in Enfield Town. In this episode, James meets an octogenarian jewellery expert. But was she also, at one time, a smuggler?

Welcome to Second-hand Stories. James Peak’s side hustle is buying bits and pieces for Tony’s antiques stall in Enfield Town in very North London. Trouble is, James is much more interested in the stories of the people he meets than the things they want to sell, which means Tony is exasperated with him 90% of the time.

Today, James meets Deirdre, a delightful octogenarian lady, who in her youth may or may not have been an international jewel smuggler.
