Customer Reviews
Great content for upcoming and established jewelers
Courtney asks relevant and insightful questions of her guests, with the growth of fellow jewelers in mind. It’s a great listen for anyone in the field looking for inspiration from seasoned jewelers.
Fantastic
Maybe one of the best parts about it is they aren't trying to sell you a crappy online class.
Great Guests/Not Great Host
I want to give this show 5 stars for the interesting guests, but the host is pretty bad. She misses the opportunity bring out the best in her guests and is really dry and boring.
