  • 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.
