About
Bench jewelers sustain a millennia-old, universal tradition that commemorates and shapes the most fundamental aspects of human experience—identity, memory, celebration, love. Yet the act of making jewelry is paradoxically private, as many jewelers bring their creations to life in solitude. For The Love of Jewelers will connect listeners with the honest, inspirational stories of leaders and influencers engaged in the art and business of jewelry-making. We’re honored to collaborate with Courtney Gray of Creative Side Jewelry Academy on the inaugural season of this jewelry podcast. Courtney will host candid, one-on-one conversations with jewelers as they share their triumphs, challenges, inspiration, and lessons learned. This season’s guests include designer Rémy Rotenier, Toolbox Initiative Founder Tim McCreight, Saul Bell Design Award Winners Sophia Hu and Mehrnoosh Ganji, and more. Listen at your bench, in your car, in the park….wherever you are, we’re glad you’re here.
