This week we welcome watch and jewelry industry veteran Barbara Palumbo, aka What's On Her Wrist to the podcast. Barbara brings a refreshing perspective on the industry that acknowledges the breadth of the market, and the forces that drive retail decisions. Deeper still, Barbara has a unique ability to make connections, and find the bigger story beyond the small mechanical details. In the process, she brings some much needed levity to the space, and serves as an important reminder of keeping the bigger picture in mind. In this discussion, she shares her journey into the watch space, and how her connections have shaped her perspective of the industry.

Our three hosts have the pleasure to talk to Barbara Palumbo, editor, writer and founder of the platform “Whats On Her Wrist." The Philadelphia native twenty-seven-year veteran of the watch and jewelry industry, Barbara talks about the changing figure of women both as consumers and as watchmakers through history and how she uses humor as a vehicle to expand the appeal for watches to various demographics and audiences. Ms. Palumbo has been nominated twice in her career in the category of Excellence in Editorial Media by the Women's Jewelry Association and has written for worldwide publications such as Vanity Fair On Time, Revolution Magazine, Luxury Daily, Modern Luxury, Watchonista, and others. Sit back and tune into this new episode of The Accutron Show.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS11:45 My project started as a way of making fun of how seriously we take the watch world. Because you have the savants already but you want a greater appeal, you want to turn on a middle aged woman like me, or a 30-year-old woman, or a 25-year-old gay man, or more people of color. So I thought humor was the best way to do it. 23:26 The watch world, mainly the men of the watch world, the CEO, designer, etc. were thinking 'women like this.' No, women like everything. The way I have friends, colleagues, or boyfriends from all walks of life. And my watch collection reflects that. 39:38 The new generation of watch buyers are hard to put in a box, they all want something different. It's tough to write anything about what Gen Z likes, because they don't want to be compartmentalized. Some of them are interested in what the celebrity is wearing, others are into microbrands.

With March being both Women's History Month, and the five year anniversary of What's On Her Wrist falling in the week this episode drops, timing couldn't be better to talk with Barbara Palumbo. Through the blog on her website www.whatsonherwrist.com and Instagram account @whatsonherwrist, Barbara brings a distinctly female, and highly relatable, viewpoint of the watch industry and its products, and an unbridled passion for the good people who work within it. We discuss some of the best micro-brands on offer and the people who help make each special, a few of the more established but less talked about houses making exceptional watches, and we delve into whether homogenisation of watch design to be more "unisex" is indeed a good thing.You can find out more about FineWatches here: www.finewatches.com.au and follow our Instagram here: @finewatchesau

The Barb Wire celebrates its tenth episode with a visit from Ben Smithee, CEO at The Smithee Group (thesmitheegroup.com), a digital consultancy whose mission is "helping big brands think small and small brands think bigger". Talking with host Barbara Palumbo, Ben shares why he decided to originally focus his consultancy on the jewelry business (8:10), and Barbara refers to him as one of the industry's few true "influencers" online (11:10). He talks about his unique upbringing in Dallas as the adopted Asian son of white parents (17:00). Ben's passionate about social media, calling it "the great equalizer" for small businesses (29:30). And he later shares one of his pet peeves -- retailers who can't stop complaining about the things their customers do (32:50). He also cites a specific behavior that he believes, if a retailer performs it daily for the next 365 days, will guarantee them a six-figure increase in their sales (36:20). Later, Ben shares the specific sales pitch he uses with jewelers to convince them to invest in building their social media following (40:30).
Marketing colored gemstone is on the agenda when Hayley Henning visits The Barb Wire with host Barbara Palumbo. Henning is currently vice-president of Greenland Ruby, where she has been working the last two years after spending most of her career as one of the key faces behind the rise of Tanzanite since the mid-1990s. (In fact, Barbara says that before she knew Hayley personally, she thought of her as “the Tanzanite lady”.) The South African native shares some of her personal journey (2:55) from her homeland to a career in the U.S., working for a company called Afgem that eventually became the well-known Tanzanite One. Hayley calls the company’s efforts to market Tanzanite "the start of colored gemstone marketing as we know it today". (6:55) Now Hayley is involved in a similar effort to increase public and industry acceptance of Greenland ruby (12:10). Her company, Greenland Ruby, is the first business with government permission to mine, market and sell ruby material found in Greenland. Says Henning: "There is no real instruction manual on how to introduce a new gemstone to the gem and jewelry industry. But we're figuring it out." She is passionate about the story behind Greenland rubies. Says the executive: “It's not as though we went to some fancy marketing agency to say, "Alright, help us make up a story. We are telling the story of a gemstone that has been buried under ice and snow for nearly 3 billion years." (25:20) Later you’ll hear some of the work Hayley is doing with retailers to promote rubies from Greenland, as well as best practices for retailers looking to introduce new gemstone varieties. Want to learn more about marketing colored gemstones to your customers? Don't miss Hayley Henning on The Barb Wire.
Colored gemstones, and their increasing popularity with younger buyers are the key topics when Doug Hucker, long-time CEO of the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) is interviewed by host Barbara Palumbo on this month's edition of The Barb Wire. Doug shares the story of his path into the jewelry business, his years at GIA, his leadership of AGTA, and also talks about the increasing popularity of colored gemstones with new buyers, as well as the AGTA's participation in the new "The Collective" event during Las Vegas jewelry week this year.

Still in his early 30s, Bindra has built up an impressive resume, serving as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the GIA Alumni Association, member of the board of directors of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee, acclaimed AGS Conclave speaker, not to mention running a seriously cool Instagram account @gemfluencer.

Michael O'Connor drops into The Barb Wire this month to talk with host Barbara Palumbo about his career in the jewelry business -- which has featured one of the most unique development paths in today's industry. The two discuss Michael's progress from Toronto teenager to jewelry salesperson, to New York-based jewelry designer, to jewelry marketer, to QVC on-air presenter, and finally, his ultimate transformation into celebrity stylist and on-air style commentator for numerous major media brands. Discussion topics include techniques for staying young, the importance of being a no-BS operator, this year's Oscar trends, as well as some fun dishing on celebs. (For instance, Michael tells us which member of the Desperate Housewives cast is most fun to drink a margarita with.) Enjoy the newest episode of The Barb Wire.

In this episode of "The Barb Wire", host Barbara Palumbo talks — and plays a drinking game — Alexis Padis, director of operations at the successful San Francisco-area jewelry store, Padis Jewelry, plus the company's side business, Padis Vineyards. Padis is also the youngest member of the board of the American Gem Society and was a 2017 "Award of Excellence " winner from the Women's Jewelry Association. Discussion topics include the role of millennials in the jewelry industry, as well as unfounded prejudices against millennials in the jewelry business. The two discuss the rise of Padis Jewelry from her father selling puka shells out of his car trunk to an area fixture serving San Francisco's rising "Cloud Corridor" of key tech businesses. And also how her father's "side hustle" turned into a successful Napa Valley vineyard and wine label. The episode includes lots of drinks (the two challenge each other to finish a glass every time the word "Conclave" is mentioned), as well as shoutouts to John Carter (yet again), Cindy Chandler, Denise Richards, Joshua Israileff, Dave Bindra and more. Introducing "The Barb Wire". Think of it as talk radio for the jewelry business.
In the second episode of "The Barb Wire", host Barbara Palumbo chats with Jen Cullen Williams, the managing director of Luxury Brand Group, a communications agency for the jewelry and luxury industries. The episode includes in-depth discussion of industry trade events — including the dangers of “trade show arrogance” from certain monolithic trade events as well as the opportunities for industry events to better serve their audiences with new technology and focused education. But there’s also lighter discussion of trade show dress codes, the importance of careful shoe management during a trade event, as well as the towering personal confidence provided by zero-humidity “Vegas hair”. Introducing "The Barb Wire". Think of it as talk radio for the jewelry business.
In her debut episode of "The Barb Wire", host Barbara Palumbo chats with her good friend, John Carter, the president and CEO of Jack Lewis Jewelers in Bloomington, IL, as well as the president of the American Gem Society (AGS). Their free-wheeling conversation covers child care, Adam Sandler movies, rocking out to AC/DC, and the funniest people in the jewelry business. But it also includes valuable intel on social media, website creation, marketing strategy and story-telling at one of the country's most innovative retail jewelry stores. Introducing "The Barb Wire".
