ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Jewelry is not just wearable art. Our jewelry can carry stories of love, life milestones, travels or artistic appreciation.
My jewelry brings me great joy. I’m continually learning about gemstones, designers, and styles of jewelry. I’m a novice with a quest for knowledge and the stories of other people’s jewelry journeys. I decided I’d share my exploration with other jewelry lovers by creating this podcast: What A Gem.
