    Episode 17: Jesus & Turtles, Last Minute Shoppers, Ruining Christmas & Goopy Cross Story!

    We so close to Christmas and the bench is absolute chaos. It's been wild, stressful, and borderline maddening. In this episode we talk through all the random , last-minute requests that only show up days before Christmas-- and how clients find new ways to ruin the holiday spirit every year. We vent, we laugh, and we relate hard.  Then we wrap it up with a story that's equal parts hilarious and painfully sad... the kind inly jewelers will truly understand!

    Episode 16: Jeweler Xmas Gifts, Jumping Off Roofs, "It's the Hope that Kills You", sHoP LoCaL vs. BUY LOCAL, December Cutoff Dates!

    We are still in the chaotic throws of December, but we took a breather to sit down and tackle an important question: "What are the best gift ideas for jewelers?" From practical tools to the oddly specific things only bench folks truly appreciate, we dive into it all. We also rant (lovingly) about how the phrase "Shop Local" has been overused and misunderstood-- and why it should really be "BUY Local." Then we take a look at how different jewelry stores operate during the holiday madness, and why every shop needs its own cutoff dates to stay sane... even if they all look a little different. To wrap this episode up, we debut a brand new holiday single from BJ Mandrel -- and you'll hear it here before its official release on Dec. 19th! Follow us on Instagram & YouTube @benchjewelermemes

    Episode 15: The Depths of December, Holiday EP, Dumb December Requests, PET PEEVES (December Edition) & R-Rated Engravings

    It's just old Brad and Dusty for this one, and we are officially diving into the Depths of December in the jewelry industry. Honestly... we might laugh more in this episode than any other.  Is it because we're slowly losing our minds in the holiday chaos? Or because our shop stories are getting funnier the more tired we get? Hard to say. We read a fresh batch of Jeweler Pet Peeves -- this time with a December twist -- Talk about the brand new Holiday EP from BJ Mandrel, and close the episode by reading wildly inappropriate engraving requests. Oof! Chaotic, festive, slightly unhinged... it's December in the jewelry world. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram & YouTube @benchjewelermemes

    Episode 14: Talking Gold Market with a Gold Nerd *This is Not Financial Advice*

    This week we're joined by a longtime friend of the show-- someone who has spent most of their life deep in the world of gold.  He's a full-blown gold-market nerd, collecting, and studying every twist and turn in precious metals.  We sit down for a fun, candid conversation about where the gold market stands today, what trends we are seeing, and why metalheads like us find this stuff so fascinating. And just to be clear (once again): WE ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS -- we just enjoy talking shop, swapping stories and geeking out over gold and other metals. A relaxed, insightful episode for anyone who loves the shiny stuff as much as we do. Follow us on Instagram & YouTube @benchjewelermemes

    Episode 13: Special Guest Jake Fox // Talking All Things Jewelry CAD, Brad Missing Dusty's Birthday Bash, AI, The Good Bad & Ugly of Jewelry Design

    In this episode, we're joined by the insanely talented Jake Fox of "J. Fox Customs" - a guy who somehow manages to juggle both the wholesale and retail sides of the jewelry world. Jake is easily one of the best CAD designers in the country, and he sits down with us for a fun, insider-heavy conversation about the art, stress and absolute chaos of jewelry design. We trade laughs, swap stories, and of course...roast Brad for missing Dusty's 40th birthday bash. (You're welcome Brad). It's a lighthearted, nerdy, design-geek episode packed with industry insights and silly jokes! Follow us on Instagram & YouTube @benchjewelermemes
