  • Retailer info, guests, rapport!

    Victoria and Rob are industry experts, for sure. There’s no one I’d rather get jewelry industry news from. I can’t decide which I like better—the interviews with stellar guests or the episodes with just the two hosts covering the news with their signature banter.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 181: Guest Jade Trau
Q: Why is origin and ethical sourcing important to her and how does it influence her work?
She emphasizes single-origin diamonds, transparency from mine to chain, and how this aligns with her brand's ethos of responsible production and shorter supply chains.
Episode 181: Guest Jade Trau
Q: What is her view on lab-grown diamonds and their place in her business?
She considers lab-grown diamonds a tech product suitable for certain applications but remains committed to natural diamonds due to cost structure, value perception, and production realities in the U.S.
Episode 181: Guest Jade Trau
Q: How did Jade Trau evolve from a diamond dealer to a jewelry designer with her own brand?
She describes a long arc from hands-on diamond buying and manufacturing to cultivating a personal design DNA, recognizing an opportunity to reframe classic jewelry through her knowledge of materials and a distinct point of view.
Gabrielle Saunders Guests on 'The Jewelry District'
Q: Tell us about semantics because I think we've seen some of the pieces. How was the collection born?
Semantics emerged after profound experiences with sound, where I studied the science behind frequencies and somatics, then translated those visible geometric patterns into solid materials so people can wear the energy and resonance of those sounds.
Gabrielle Saunders Guests on 'The Jewelry District'
Q: And then how did you kind of connect that to Jewelry?
The connection came from translating the somatic patterns and frequencies I study into tangible objects, translating sound into a visual and tactile form so wearers can carry the experience with them, and using activations to bridge understanding between sound and jewelry.
