The Jewellers Podcast

As we all continue to learn, I talked to Mel Young from UNSW about how to get the best out of an educational course and her experiences as a teacher. Mel has her own creative practice and you can follow her on insta @unnaturaljeweller

A big episode on watches! Another service for jewellers to offer is watch sales and service. We talk to 2 watchmakers to establish the basics or back up what you already offer. It's a long one so you may need a few sittings! Thanks to Neil Pola and Roger Brinkman for sharing their expertise.

Laura Phillis from Tatum Gems has built a decent following intuitively, and Tom Ragg is the social media expert. We compare notes on using Instagram and the importance of content. Tom also hosts We Are The Watchers, a weekly podcast about what to watch on tv, iPad and cinema.

How do we value items? This month we hear from Karen Lindley from Diamonds by Design and Karen Deakin from Karen Deakin Antiques for a beginner lesson in value and jewellery history. I say beginner as there is a lot more to find out from them!

We speculate the impact and implications of trade news. This month joined by Dave Hollanders of Wild Trout Jewellery and Neil Pola of Pola Jewellers.
