Stoners presents charity diamond to quadriplegic girl
Harrogate-based Stoners Jewellers presented a diamond to a young girl who was tragically left quadriplegic after falling off a climbing frame a year ago.
The girl, Bel Young, also asked owner Christopher Stoner to help her design a bracelet encrusted with the diamond that incorporates the letter B.
The family-run jewellers donated the £2,000 diamond for a fundraising ball raffle to raise money for special equipment, therapy and care for Young. Raffle winner Nigel Jowett was so touched by Young’s story that he donated the precious diamond to her. He joined Stoner in presenting the diamond to Bel in person at Stoners’ boutique store in Harrogate.
Stoner said: “It’s fantastic that Nigel has given the diamond to Bel. The diamond is named Bel’s Diamond so it’s fitting that she is now its proud owner. Bel is an inspirational young girl who is extremely courageous and it’s tremendous that we have been able to help boost her quality of life in this fundraising venture.”
