  • 14. A deep-dive into gemstone cuts! The brilliant cut, the princess cut, the asscher cut and the antique cut diamonds

    49:12
    Many of you have requested this episode! And all I can say is - welcome to the beautiful world of gemstone cuts. It is actually the cut that turns a stone into a gemstone! It is the cut that makes it beautiful, and what makes us want to wear the stone in a piece of jewelry. There are two things that happen when you cut a gemstone: The first is that it gets a shape - round, square, pear shaped etc. The second thing is that the stone starts to reflect light - I call it the sparkle factor! And there can be a massive difference in the sparkle factor between stones with similar shape, for example between two round stones - which is why have so many different gemstone cuts! If you think this sounds exciting, then you need to listen to today's episode!In this episode you will learn:The pros and cons of the most popular gemstone cuts What cut you should choose if you want a really glamorous gemstoneWhat cut that is the most common one in the world What cut that makes any stone sparkle the most! What cut you should avoid for stones that aren't of the highest quality What cut that looks relatively small - but still is quite expensiveWhich gemstones that probably are the most environmentally friendly - and that have a subtle, beautiful vintage glow! I hope you will find this episode valuable!The cuts we talk about in this episode: The Brilliant Cut The Princess Cut The Asscher CutThe Old European Cut (Antique cut diamond)The Old Mine Cut (Antique cut diamond)Enjoy! And don't forget: you deserve fine jewelry. Find a close-up of the cuts we talk about in this episode on The Jewelry Podcast's instagram!

  • 13. They put Scandinavian jewelry on the map - Charlotte & Pernille from The Jewellery Room

    01:00:40
    I'm more than excited to have these two cool, Danish sisters on the show!Pernille Møbjerg and Charlotte Møbjerg Ansel-Henry set up their company The Jewellery Room in 2013, after having both worked successfully with jewellery PR for many years. It started as a two-day jewellery fair on Copenhagen Fashion Week, where they gathered press from all over the world to meet with the biggest names on the Scandinavian jewelry scene. But then the pandemic hit - and the sisters transformed their business into the sales of jewellery, still working with the same brands as before. Today, The Jewellery Room has evolved into one of the largest online market places for Scandinavian jewelry, and for many brands, they are the window to the customers. In this episode we talk about their mission with The Jewellery Room, their personal career stories, why they love jewellery, how they look at the old stigmas surrounding fine jewelry purchases and how they strive to make it fun and easy. We talk about jewelry trends, what jewelry they think belong in a capsule jewelry wardrobe and the future of fine jewelry!

  • 12. The 7 Cardinal Sins of Jewelry Shopping (And How To Avoid Them)

    45:49
    Can you love every single piece of jewelry that you buy? Is it possible to avoid having “anxiety pieces” in your jewelry box that you never use? The last thing you want is your new jewelry purchases to end up in the drawer or on your bedside table causing anxiety every time you see them. But can it be avoided?We did a non-statistical market research with you - the listeners - and came to the conclusion that these are the seven most common mistakes when you buy fine jewelry:Mistake # 1:Not knowing what you are buyingMistake # 2:Not knowing your style and tasteMistake # 3:Not allowing your style to evolve over timeMistake # 4:Buying jewelry of poor qualityMistake # 5:Caring too much about what other people thinkMistake # 6:Not having a planMistake # 7:Sticking too hard to the plan!My best tip for you who are just entering into this sparkling word of fine jewelry is simply: Start small. Start wearing jewelry. Do not put all your eggs (money) in the same basket (into one piece of expensive jewelry) in the beginning. Start with something small, e.g. a small diamond ring and start wearing it! Slowly but steadily you will find your personal taste!The worst thing you can do for your own jewelry development is not to wear any jewelry at all, because then you know for sure that you will never find what you like.Enjoy!And don't forget: you deserve fine jewelry.

The four C's of diamonds The 4 Cs denote four different quality aspects of a diamond and determine the price of a specific stone - it also explains why there are such massive differences in prices between stones of the same size. The four Cs are: Colour - the degree of colourless (the less colour a diamond has, the more valuable it is)Carat - the size (1 CT = 0,2 gram) Clarity - how flawless its crystal is Cut - how well it has been cut and thus, emit sparkle and brilliance
