Customer Reviews
A gem of a podcast.
As a jewelry enthusiast and occasional designer/ curator, I love this podcast. It’s informative and entertaining. The chemistry between Alain and JB is so fun. Lovely listening! Highly recommend. Ps Taller (pronounced Tie-er) is Spanish for workshop.
So grateful for these gems & pearls.
I love listening to this amazing podcast. Jb and Alain are truly wondrous people and I feel so supported and comforted after listening to each episode. Like a fresh breath of air. Like a warm summer breeze. Like finally a podcast about things I care about. Their guests are also people I admire so it’s really a win for anyone to listen to but particularly those who are in the jewelry world. I love to clean my studio while I listen and pretend I have lots of friends. Thank you for this. <3
Witty jewelry repartee
Have really been enjoying the witty repartee, obvious fun, and insights you can glean by spending a bit of time with JB and Alain. They have turned my attention to new makers and businesses I wasn’t aware of- so far the episode with founders of BOND hardware really stood out. Love the discussion of ethics and intent.
