Foreword by Lesley Reeves

Updated: Jun 16, 2021

I would like to introduce Lesley Reeves an experienced wealth advisor based in Epping, in Essex, who very kindly agreed to write the foreword for the Worldwide book. Lesley has become a trusted friend and I feel blessed to have her support and seal of approval. Buying Gemstones & Jewellery Worldwide was published in January 2019:


“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kim for over seven years. Our relationship began when I commissioned her to take photos of my grandchild, for an album to commemorate his treasured first year. Her expertise and skill behind the camera are exemplary and she captured our grandson’s beauty and character perfectly. She has just finished the same for my delightful granddaughter and I wouldn’t want anyone else taking professional photos of our family.

Kim has become a close friend and I’ve followed with interest her journey as a gemmologist and author. It’s no surprise that she’s approached this venture with the same passion and professionalism as her photography business. Her guidebooks will be invaluable to travellers wishing to purchase precious gems, even inspiring those who may not have had an interest before.


With over forty years in the financial services industry, I help my clients increase income and grow capital by sharing innovative ways of investing worldwide. My business philosophy is in line with this book, as the intention to share knowledge, experience and contacts (ensuring people have the tools to make the right decisions and safeguard their money, whether it’s buying a property or a gem) is the same and I can relate to it wholeheartedly. “
