Edinburgh jeweller Hamilton & Inches is a valued partner of Scottish Ballet. They sponsor Principal Roseanna Leney, who recently dazzled audiences across Scotland in the iconic role of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake. This authentic partnership is based on the parallels between a dancer's career and that of a master silversmith - the years of training and discipline, refining and honing of skills, and the pursuit of perfection.
