Jewelry Journey Podcast

28

Every day, people surround us wearing art, history, and culture, but we usually don’t pay attention. Most people think about jewelry as an afterthought or accessory. But jewelry can tell a larger story, one reflecting the connection between contemporary culture and that of yesteryear.Is jewelry clothing, art, status symbol, or something more? The jewelry world seems to be hidden in plain sight and little understood. The Jewelry Journey podcast explores the many aspects of jewelry and its status as art. We talk with those who live and breathe this form of adornment: makers, dealers, gallerists, academics collectors and more. The goal is to elevate the conversation beyond Etsy or big diamonds and see jewelry in a new light, so that we can appreciate the little pieces of wonder that float by each day.

    Silhouette of Success ✨Sharon Berman
    Sharon was a favorite guest of mine as we both shared the love of all that glitters! Baubles and beads, bling and the stories that brought the magical creations to life. She was the crown jewel 💎 for my podcast and I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity to have captured her Silhouette of Success journey.
