Sale of €250,000 necklace lifts fortunes at Irish jeweller Fields

One sale of a €250,000 pink diamond necklace and earrings set by jewellers Fields last year provided a boost to its Irish revenues and profits.

The sale was the largest item sold in the company’s 14 Irish stores.

The group company Anthony Nicholas Group, owner of Fraser Hart in the UK and Fields jewellers in Ireland, reported pre-tax profits of £4.7m (€6.5m) on sales of £140.8m last year.
