  • Absolutely brilliant!

    I started following Matthew on social media. I visited the store on a trip to Ireland recently…made a purchase and had a blast learning from them. I had not listened to Alyse & Matthew’s podcast before the visit. I’ve been on a “bender” of listening to their podcasts since I left! They have such a vast knowledge of the antique jewelry industry and pieces. I’ve so enjoyed listening! It’s as if I’m sitting in the shop with them talking all over again. I’m never going to be a millionaire inv... more

  • Brilliant

    I am a fan of gems and jewelry and consider myself knowledgeable. Nope. After listening to these podcasts now I consider myself more knowledgeable yet not close to Matthew and Alyce’s knowledge. They have given me a reason to look at turquoise pieces. I also appreciate how they mention famous gems of the type they are talking about. Today google was all over Faberge Pink Topaz Cross.
