This podcast explores every facet of jewellery – from who makes it, to who wears it, and why – and is a must-listen for everyone who loves jewellery or might be buying a piece of jewellery; anyone interested in design and history; and all those who love a rollicking real-life story.

Customer Reviews
One of the best!
I love listening to podcasts and I can say that If Jewels Could Talk is hands down one of the best. It explores a topic and industry that doesn’t come to light often, delving down paths you wouldn’t normally associate with jewellery and people who you may never heard of.
The host, Carol, does an incredible job of interviewing a wide range of quests who all have such an interesting connection to the world of jewellery and a passion for it that you really can hear when they speak.
This podcast is for people who love jewellery, design, gemstones, precious metals, ancient and modern history, art, fashion, unique hobbies, fascinating stories and interesting people.
Listen to it. You won’t regret it. I promise.
Great concept
Excited to see where this podcast goes in future, it’s started really well and includes fascinating details so far. Interested in the historical aspects personally, but have enjoyed the more recent stories such as Elizabeth Taylor’s collection. Well done
