Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sustainable Reflections with Rebecca Maddock
Q: What are your top tips for being more sustainable from the get-go for starting jewellers?
Begin with clear personal guiding values and be honest about what you can and cannot do right away. Prioritize transparency over perfection, choose a few realistic sustainability goals, and communicate them clearly to customers while continuing to improve over time.
Sustainable Reflections with Rebecca Maddock
Q: To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what it is that you do?
I'm an Irish designer-maker who moved to London, with a focus on sustainability in jewellery. I work with small businesses, offering mentoring, brand audits, and content creation, and I'm deeply involved in Fair Luxury and initiatives like the State of Sustainability conference to help map progress and share practical knowledge.
Sustainable Jewellery with Vivien Johnston
Q: To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what it is that you do?
I'm an independent consultant, a subject matter expert, and a responsible sourcing specialist with over 20 years in global supply chains for precious minerals, and I founded Fifi Bijoux to pilot a truly transparent and traceable supply chain from mine to product.
Applied Sustainability with Anna McLoughlin
Q: To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
I describe myself as an ethical goldsmith who takes customers' old jewellery and turns it into new pieces, often using heirloom materials to create something that is meaningful and wearable.
Living Gold with Simone Van Den Broek
Q: For jewelers listening, do you have any tips for using alternative materials like mycelium? Where should they start?
Her advice centers on following your passion, connecting with others who have experimented with the material, and starting with small, tangible experiments rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
