We are creatures of habit, always have been and probably always will be. We are now also, thanks to the success and efficiency of technology, creatures of comfort.

Thank you for joining our lively conversations with teachers, support professionals, parents, and students, as they share issues that matter most in our public schools. Here are your hosts, Tina Dunbar and Luke Flynt. Tina Dunbar: Welcome back to another new season of Educating from the Heart. I'm Tina, here with my cohost, Luke. And we're kicking off the start of a brand-new school year, as close to 3 million Florida students head back to their classrooms. And I bet you can relate to this, Luke. This is an exciting and busy time of the year for parents, students, and for teachers too. Luke Flynt: You are absolutely right, Tina. As a teacher, there was nothing more exciting to me than the start of a new school year. the first day of school was one of my favorite days of the entire calendar year. It was actually my favorite time of the entire calendar year. There was just no other time where you have that sense of joy and hope and optimism of what a new year can bring. I also really looked forward to the start of a new school year as a student. In particular, I looked forward to my band class with Mr. Sammons. He did such a great job of creating a sense of community, a sense of camaraderie that we all wanted to be back together at the start of a new school year. Tina: That sounds like a really wonderful experience, you know, as a parent, it's all about preparing your child for school and completing all the paperwork at the beginning of the school year. And with the recent changes to the law, I anticipate parents will face numerous permission slips this year to allow use of a Band-Aid to lunch selections, even nicknames a student may share with their classmates. Times have really changed, Luke, but my best memories date back to when I was a student. Back to school was filled with so much anticipation. You wanted to check out the new students, the changes in the school building, and the teachers leading your classes. My art teacher Marilyn Price still stands out. She taught me to spend time in reflection and how to process events in the world around me. You know, back then teachers were free to openly talk with their students and answer questions that made you think and expand your curiosity. I truly believe her influence helped me to excel in school. You know, these days, Luke, we really downplay the importance of art and music to student learning and achievement. They weren't afraid to answer questions. I truly believe that sense of freedom and security helped her to help me excel in school. Luke: Oh, it absolutely does. Again, speaking as a former teacher,

What you'll learn in this episode: Why brand recognition and signed jewelry have become so important in the last 20 years What sets fine jewelry houses apart from other jewelers How antique shows have changed, and why it has become more difficult to find quality jewelry at shows What a jewelry wardrobe is and how to create one How Doyle adapted its auctions during the pandemic About Nan Summerfield Nan Summerfield joined Doyle New York as Director of the California office in Beverly Hills in 2014. Ms. Summerfield, a GIA Graduate Gemologist, has been in the appraisal and auction business for forty-two years. Nan began her career at the Gemological Institute of America in New York as a Staff Gemologist in the GIA Laboratory and later as an Instructor in the Education Division, before spending thirteen years as a Vice President in the Jewelry Department at Sotheby's, first in New York, then in Los Angeles. Nan continued to develop and direct Sotheby's jewelry auctions in Beverly Hills for eight years.

Additional Resources: Nan's Instagram Doyle's Website Doyle's Instagram Transcript: After more than four decades working in estate jewelry as a dealer and at auction houses, Nan Summerfield knows a thing or two about how to select the best jewelry. Now Senior Vice President of California Operations for the auction house Doyle, Nan joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the pros and cons of purchasing jewels from the major houses versus lesser-known jewelers; why the auction industry began to court private buyers in the 80s; and when it makes sense to take a risk on an unsigned piece. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. Today, my guest is Nan Summerfield, Senior Vice President of California Operations for the auction house Doyle. Welcome back.    I wanted to ask you about something you said earlier, when you said that Doyle had decided they wanted to get out there more and get more private clients.    Nan: It was Sotheby's that wanted that.    Sharon: I'm sorry, Sotheby's. That's right. Was it by opening more offices?   Nan: No, at that point, when I had joined Sotheby's, they'd already done a big expansion worldwide. They were well-established. That was in the early 80s. What they did, and what Bain & Company suggested doing, was to reach out to the private clients and start adding auctions in California again so their private clients could come in. They tried to demystify the process and be more transparent about how it worked and the commission structures, that sort of thing, and to really make a concerted effort. I think that may have been when we started advertising in Town & Country and magazines like that, that were geared toward bringing in the private clients. That's when it started building, at that point in time.   Sharon: Why private clients? Were they bringing in pieces that were in their safe deposit boxes that you weren't seeing?   Nan: No, we were actually looking for private clients as buyers. Up until that point, it had been almost exclusively dealers that bought at auction. That's a whole other thing that was happening at that point. The dealers used to have what they called rings, and they would agree not to bid against each other in the auction. Then following the auction, they would have what they call the knockout, where they'd bid amongst each other and decide who gets what piece and that sort of thing. New York found out about that and outlawed it.    They clamped down on it, but we'd always gotten jewelry from private clients. Most typically, I would say, it had been the estates that had come in and been sold at auction. With the new private clients, we wanted to bring them in as buyers but also as sellers, which they had been, but on a quieter exposure. It was good, but I think it was geared toward bringing the private clients in as buyers.    Sharon: I love the word you used before, which was helping people decide what they wanted to have for their jewelry wardrobe, as opposed to their jewelry collection. I'm still trying to find that elusive definition of what collector is. When you talk about the jewelry wardrobe, can you talk about that? Is it that they have earrings, they have a ring? How do you look at the wardrobe?   Nan: I would say most people typically start with the basics, maybe their engagement ring. They might buy a pair of diamond-studded earrings and maybe get a diamond bracelet along the way. Then they go through life, and they're making a little more money and have a more sophisticated lifestyle. They start building it as you have your basics in your wardrobe. For example, I had diamonds that go with everything. In my case, I started buying things that were color coordinated. I love blues and greens, so I bought things that with emeralds or sapphires. I love pinks and purples. I have a fabulous Raymond Yard bubblegum 20 carat pink tourmaline ring that I love. I bought that way back in New York a million years ago.    Anyway, with the wardrobe, it really is like getting dressed. What are you going to wear? You want earrings, a necklace, a brooch perhaps, a bracelet and rings. You want things that work together well. With necklaces, we can get a lot of variation with what's in trend. Right now, we've seen a lot of long necklaces. The long Alhambra chains that are Van Cleef or long pendant necklaces have been the trend where we were. Back in the 80s, the collar necklaces were what everybody was wearing. I think we're going to start moving back into that trend in the next few years, but it's always changing. Then the trends also change from white metals to yellow metals, and the swing happens in 10 or 15-year cycles. In the jewelry wardrobe, it's everything from color-coordinating and if gold is in or not.    I also personally have nighttime jewelry, so if I'm going out to an event or black-tie thing, I've got platinum and diamonds or colored stone jewelry that's dressier. Then the daytime jewelry is a little more casual, but it also depends a lot on where you live. It's building what you personally love and what you're drawn to. It's a piece-by-piece adventure, and it's fun. It really is. It's exciting when you've been looking for the perfect pair of earrings to go with the necklace and bracelet you have, and then you finally find it. It's fun, and it's always treasure hunting. If you're a true collector, I think you never stop collecting.    Sharon: I'd say that's probably true. It's interesting, some of the things you said. Yes, your style changes; you become more sophisticated. You say, “Well, that was me 30 years ago, but that's not me today.”    Nan: Exactly.    Sharon: It's interesting to think about it more in a wardrobe sense, as opposed to, “I already have a Berlin iron, so I want to add that to my collection.” Actually, my Berlin iron sits in my drawer because I'm afraid to wear it.   Nan: That's a very rare category too, the Berlin iron. It's such an interesting segment of history.   Sharon: Yes, some people would probably die, but I don't mind adjusting or modifying even a signed piece. I want to fit me. I want it to work for me. The next person can decide if they don't want the soldering I had done. I feel like that's fine. I don't give a hell if other people feel that way. It has to fit you, right?   Nan: Absolutely, but if you have to alter a piece, hopefully you can do it in a way where it might be able to be put back together. If you have a necklace you want shorter that has some links come out of it, or rings, which so often need to be sized to be worn, yeah. If you have a good jeweler that does it, then it should be less detrimental.    Sharon: You talked about the fact that you left having your own business as a dealer, which you were in for 20 years.   Nan: 20 years. It was wonderful.   Sharon: Wow! And that things had changed, and that was one of the reasons you thought maybe it was time to go back into the auction house. What changed in that time?   Nan: It was very interesting, because as I mentioned earlier, probably the first 10 or 15 years I had my own business, it was so easy to find jewelry and beautiful things. I used to go to the flea markets, I'd hit all the tradeshows and I had private clients bringing me things all the time. What changed everything was the entrance of the internet right around 2000. In the beginning it was new, and people were still trying to figure out to how to navigate it. Then, probably in the last five to eight years I was in the jewelry business, we started seeing an increase in people doing things online.    You had different platforms. I think eBay was one of the first to start selling things, and then 1stDibs came along. There were various platforms like that, where people started selling their jewelry online as opposed to bringing it to the tradeshows or the antique shows to sell. I think that was when it really started shifting, because we started finding less. When we would travel and go looking for things, whether it was at the flea markets or at the Hillsboro in the Bay Area, the antique shows or the big Miami show, it was just harder to find.    It was an interesting period and I recognized that. Really, the way it happened with Doyle is that they reached out to me. They were interested in opening up a west coast division, and I had worked with the woman that is the head for jewelry for Doyle in New York. She and I had worked together at Sotheby's, so we had known each other for a long time. They reached out to me to see if I would be interested in opening up the west coast for them. They felt a jewelry person was probably the best direction to go because jewelry has a very broad reach. Everybody has jewelry. Not everybody collects old master paintings or impressionists or antique furniture or silver or whatever, but jewelry tends to cast a pretty wide net with people. Everybody has a mother or a daughter, somebody that has jewelry or loves jewelry. It was very timely that they reached out to me because my business was fine, but I could sense the changes that were happening.    I loved the 13 years I had spent at Sotheby's. The auction world is really fun and interesting. You have such a huge volume of property that goes through your hands, and you meet the most interesting people that are both buyers and consigners. I find, like what I said before about working for Sotheby's, is that in the auction houses, generally the specialists are very generous with their knowledge and share it. In the trade, people are very close to the vest, because knowledge equates to money. If you know why something is special, you don't want to tell somebody else because you might lose your advantage.    Anyway, for all these different reasons, the time was right, so we went back and forth, and I ended up going onboard with Doyle. It started in May or June, I think, and I ended up signing a contract with them in October and haven't looked back. It's so much fun, and we've had fabulous success on the west coast. It's interesting, because Doyle very much reminds me of the way Sotheby's used to be. It was like a family. At that point, John Meriam was the Chairman of Sotheby's, and he was such a wonderful man. Doyle has that same not-corporate feeling you have in so many companies these days, but more of a family that works there. It's been a wonderful experience; it really has.   Sharon: It sounds like it. You mentioned the office is moving. Doyle's office in Beverly Hills is moving from the upper floor to a ground floor.   Nan: Yes, we're very excited. We originally took over my old office that I had in Beverly Hills, and our business has just grown. It was again where the stars aligned. We'd opened a street-front gallery in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York was interested in opening a west coast branch in Beverly Hills on the ground floor. The head of our company had been out looking at colleges with her daughters over Labor Day weekend. They walked around Beverly Hills and noticed that a jewelry store in Beverly Hills had a sign that he was moving, and the space was available. She asked me to take a look at the space, which I did. He was so nice and took me on a whole tour and showed me that it was an enormous, beautifully built-out space. It was a small fortune in rent, but I went back.   As I was walking up to look at his space, there was a space downstairs in our building on Camden Drive, and it was closed. It was a gentlemen's clothing store, and they had a sign on the door that it was closed. I thought, “Well, let me go peek in the window and see what this space looks like, because this could be good for us.” As I was looking in the window with my hands up on either side of my eyes, one of my old neighbors from when I was on the penthouse floor in our building was walking by, and he said, “Hey, Nan, what's going on?” I said, “Well, we've outgrown our space and we're exploring options.” He said, “A friend of mine has this place. You need to call him,” and he gave me his telephone number. After I had gone to look at this other space and videotaped it and sent it to New York, I called him up. He was the nicest man, and he told me he wanted to open another store. He had a son that was in New England in a cute little town, and his wife told him that if he was going to open a new store, he would have to get rid of another one. He had been through the pandemic, which had been stressful for everybody, so the space wasn't even on the market.   I had spoken to our real estate broker, and he had said, “Nan, I'm sorry. I know New York asked you to look. There's nothing on the ground floor level in the triangle. You're going to have to go south of Beverly,” which in mind is no go; we only want to be in the triangle. We ended up signing a lease on that space. Another thing that makes it really wonderful is that we are located on Camden Drive, and two doors up from us is Christie's. There's Mr. Chow's, a restaurant, and Sotheby's is on the other side. So, we're on auction row for the entire west coast. We're thrilled about that too, because the auction house is on New Bond Street in England, the way when you're doing a road trip and all the fast food and gas stations are clustered together. It's sort of one-stop shopping. It feels like the jewelry district in New York. When you have similar businesses together, it drives business for everybody. So, we're very excited.    Sharon: That's great. It sounds exciting. Would a private client bring a piece to you and say, “What do you think about this? What can I get for it at auction?” and then go to Christie's or Sotheby's? It seems like people would be walking the street saying, “What does everybody think? How much can I get for it?” What do you think about that?   Nan: Yes, I think that is certainly a part of the equation. Both Sotheby's and Christie's tend to be geared to try to get the very high-priced items. That leaves a lot of room in the mid-range and below where they won't handle property. We handle everything, from soup to nuts. We feel like when we're handling estates or clients, we don't want to cherry pick their best things and tell them, “You're on your own.” We try to accommodate our clients, so we have different levels of sale. I think a lot of times it's about where you feel the most comfortable when you go and meet with different auction houses or specialists. I think it's a very personal decision for people.   Sharon: How many times a year does Doyle have jewelry auctions on the west coast?   Nan: We were doing jewelry auctions up until the pandemic. When we went into the pandemic, everything changed. We'd already had our May sale put together, photographed and catalogued and everything, when we shut down. It happened so quickly that we were scrambling. We had to ship all the jewelry to New York. At that point, we implemented quite a few changes in how we did auctions going into the pandemic. We recognized that when people are locked in from the pandemic, their only way of communicating with the world was their telephone, their television or their computer. Gone were the days that people could go wandering into a store and buy what they wanted.    So, with that came a number of changes we made. We decided to make smaller sales. We typically had had about seven or eight jewelry auctions a year, and they would run maybe 500 lots for sale. We realized that people were looking at the sales on their phones and they would glaze over at 500 lots. So, we recalibrated it and started doing more auctions but smaller sales, about 200 lots per sale, which is more manageable.    We also implemented another change where we started photographing the jewelry being worn. I will tell you that in the 20 years I had my own business, one of the most frustrating things for me was when I bought at auction. I remember buying a pair of earrings, and when they arrived, they were enormous. I thought they would be the size of not even a quarter. Having a sense of scale when you're buying online is very important, so we started having our shots photographed on some of our younger staff members—they're more photogenic—so people would have a sense of scale and could see how big that pendant necklace is, or how the earrings look on the ear or the ring on the hand. That was also very helpful for people to bid online. They got more information and had a better sense of what they would be buying before they had to commit to it.    Now we're doing auctions more than monthly. We usually run an auction pretty much every month. There are a number of months where we'll have two or three auctions at different levels.    Sharon: Online or in person?   Nan: The way it's structured, we have important sales, fine sales and online jewelry sales. The online sales are the less expensive things, group plots generally, things that are under $1,000. There will be some signed pieces. The online sales are handled only online. There's no public auction that goes on. You can bid on your computer in real time. You can bid up to that time. If you bid on something just before it closes and somebody comes in and outbids you, it gives you another couple of minutes to go back and raise your bid, so it's structured a little bit differently than our fine and our important sales. The online sales are virtually every month.   The fine and the important sales, now that we've come out of the pandemic, we're doing public exhibitions. We're doing previews in New York, and we try to do the previews in California as well. Once we open our gallery space, we should be getting all the fine and the important for previews for our California clients.   When people want to bid on the auctions, they have four different ways they can buy. They can come in person to the auction in New York and bid there. They can arrange to telephone bid. If they call us ahead of time, we'll set it up. On the day of the auction, we're all roped in on our computers, on Zoom calls, on the phone calling clients saying, “O.K., I'm going to be bidding with you on this lot that's coming up in four lots,” and then we bidders sit there in the room. They can also leave an absentee written bid saying, “I like this bracelet. The estimate is $3,000-$4,000. I really love it. I'm going to bid up to $4,500.” Then we will bid on their behalf against the competition until there's no competition, but if they get outbid, they won't get it.    The last way, which has become so popular, is that people can actually bid on their computers in real time. Once the auction starts, if they go to Doyle.com, at the top there will be a banner that says, “Join the live auction now.” You click that. You can see the auctioneer. You can see the piece of jewelry. You can see the estimate and description, and then you can see if the bids are going. It's a constantly scrolling thing. An auctioneer will be calling, “Yes, we have a bid at $8,500 from Nan in California. We've got a bid at $9,000 in the room” and so forth. So, people have four different ways they get on those sales.   One of the important things that's good for people to remember when they're bidding at auction is that, as is the standard in the entire auction business, there is a buyer's premium. The buyer's premium is on top of the hammer price it sells for, and it ranges from 25% to 30% depending on the auction house. At Doyle, it's 26%. It's really fun. It's very easy. We also do condition reports on everything so people can see what the quality of the diamonds is, what the size of the ring is, how long the bracelet or the necklace is, how much it weighs. We give a lot of information on our auctions, which gives people more confidence in buying things. If they have extra questions, they can reach out to us and we will follow up with them and give them more detail.   Sharon: There are a lot of different ways, a lot of different perspectives. It is very interesting. Some of the reasons that seem to excite you make me say, “Forget it,” just because things are coming at you from so many different ways: online, in the room, on the phone, whatever.    Nan: I can see how it would seem overwhelming, but I would say choose the avenue that's most comfortable for you. Just focus on that and let the rest of it fall away.   Sharon: That's good advice. I know it's the way of the world in terms of auctions, and the world has changed so much. Even as we're talking, the jewelry world has changed so much.   Nan: Dramatically, it has.   Sharon: Thank you so much, Nan, for being with us today and telling us about it. I've learned a lot and it's been really enjoyable. Thank you so much.   Nan: Sharon, thank you so much for inviting me. I really enjoyed it.   Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it comes out later this week. Today, my guest is Nan Summerfield, Senior Vice President of California Operations for the auction house Doyle. Nan has extensive jewelry experience, having worked with several major auction houses. In addition, for 20 years she had her business as a jewelry dealer specializing in estate jewelry. We'll hear all about her own jewelry journey today. Nan, welcome to the program. Nan: Thank you, Sharon. It's great to be here. Sharon: So glad to connect with you. Tell us about your jewelry journey. You've covered a lot of ground. Were you a child when you started liking it? How did you get into the jewelry profession? Nan: I think I came out of the womb loving jewelry. When I was little girl, my favorite thing was to go through my grandmother's jewelry and try things on and look at them. I was that child that when I would be out with my parents at a mall, I'd see a jewelry store and I'd put my fingerprints and nose print on the windows to look at all the jewelry. I think I was just born loving jewelry from the day I came out of the womb. Sharon: Did you know you were going to go into jewelry? Did you think about making it? Did you want to sell it? Did you just want to be around it? To have it? Nan: It's so funny. I knew I always loved it, but I came back from a six-month backpack trip in Europe, and I had been invited to a Fourth of July party up at Lake Tahoe, where I was from. At that party, I was playing with a necklace my brother had given me with a small gold coin on it. This man that was at the party looked at me, and he said, “I sell jewelry like that. How would you like to work for me?” I thought, “Oh, my god, I love jewelry. I could actually work in it?” That's how it all started. He turned out to be kind of flaky, but I credit him with giving me the introduction into the business. Sharon: Flakey is a word. It's serendipitous. Nan: It certainly is. He veered off in other directions shortly after I got my introduction into the business, but I credit him with opening that door for me. Sharon: From there, how did you segue into auction houses? Nan: First, I had my own business for about a year. Through some people I met, I found out about the GIA. I applied and went to the GIA. When I finished, they offered me a job working for them in New York or Los Angeles. I thought, “Gosh, I've never been to New York. I've read all these books, like ‘The Catcher in the Rye' and ‘The Great Gatsby.'” It sounded so romantic to me. I thought if I didn't have a job, I wouldn't move to New York, but if I had a job, why not? So, I moved back to New York, and I worked in the lab doing certificates on diamonds for a year. Then they asked me to be a permanent instructor in the education department. I switched over to education and taught the residence program, the one-week classes. I feel very lucky because these strange coincidences happened that have led me to where I am. I had a colleague I was working with. He was a friend of mine, and he had taught the new head of the jewelry department all of these things. He had taken a one-week course with him at the GIA. He really liked my friend, and he offered him a job to work for Sotheby's. But my friend had fallen in love with this girl in California, so he was moving out there. He said to this gentleman, “I can't, but I've got the girl for you,” and he gave him my name and number. Then it all started. I went for an interview, they hired me, and I ended up spending eight years in New York with Sotheby's. Then I wanted to move back to California, so things finally worked out well. Part of what was happening at Sotheby's at that time was that Al Taubman had hired Bain & Company, the consulting firm, to look at the jewelry department worldwide and see how they could develop it and bring in more private clients. That was very interesting point in auction, too, the shift from dealers to embracing private clients. One of the recommendations Bain had come back with was that we start doing jewelry auctions in California again. We had them before, in 1981. In the crash of 1981, they closed down the big gallery we had. Anyway, I spent eight years with Sotheby's in California. It was a wonderful opportunity, and I had very generous people that I worked with. One of the things I found was that when I worked at the GIA, I had a number of friends that went out and worked for estate jewelry dealers in the business, but they were very close to the vest about the information they had. They didn't share why something was special, what made it important, what to look for. I was extremely fortunate because the other specialists that I worked with in New York were very generous with their knowledge. This is when the first reproductions of Deco and Edwardian were coming out, and they taught me so much. I'll be forever grateful for them being so generous with their knowledge. That's a long answer to your question. Sharon: It's an interesting answer. I'm still on the fact that you had your own business for a year before you started doing anything else. What were you doing? Were you buying and selling jewelry? Nan: Yeah, exactly. The gentleman that first brought me into the business, he took me to a sort of buying center of jewelry, a building that had multiple levels and booths of people selling. I would go down and choose the things I liked and then bring them back to Tahoe, and then I would sell them to my friends. Sharon: Wow! When you were talking about the auction houses, I never thought about the fact that some are selling to dealers, and some are more about developing private clients. Can you talk a little bit about that? Nan: Yes, absolutely. Initially, when I first started there, it was almost entirely dealers that bought at auction. Another thing I look back on now is that when we would have viewings and dealers would be looking at the jewelry, it didn't matter to them if something was Cartier or Van Cleef or Bulgari or any of the big names. It was, “Oh, that's nice,” but they never paid a premium or saw it in a substantially more valuable way. That's something that has dramatically changed from when I started to where I am today. As you know, anything that's signed by the big houses is going to bring a big premium today. During that period we had some private buyers, if I remember, but it was almost entirely dealers that were the buyers, and as I said, that started shifting. I think Al Taubman purchased Sotheby's in the mid-80s, and that's when he implemented these changes to make jewelry in the auction world more accessible to private clients and to demystify it. It was an interesting period. It was very transitional and very much a growth period in the auction world. Sharon: Was Al Taubman a catalyst in terms of moving everybody to look at signed pieces? Did he care? What happened there? Nan: No, that really wasn't his thing. He was all about getting the auction world out to private clients worldwide, which is where we are today. It's an enormous part of the auction market and the competition that we get. He was not focused on signed jewelry per se. I think that's something that happened—really, I started seeing that more in the 90s and going into the 2000s. It's been an upward trajectory since then with the really good names and the values they're bringing. Sharon: What do you think changed? What propelled that? What are your thoughts about why names are more important today? Nan: I think it's a combination of things. The really fine ones, Cartier, Van Cleef, Bulgari, Buccellati, David Webb, all of those have a level of quality you don't always see in other jewelry companies. I will know, for example, if I get a pair of earrings that are Van Cleef, they will always sit beautifully on the ear. A lot of jewelry that's not signed may look good, but it won't lay as well on a woman when she wears it, whether it's earrings or a necklace. It's that thoughtful design in the jewelry. What I really think happened was that over the last couple of decades, we've had a real push toward brand recognition. I even think back to Calvin Klein and “Back to the Future.” There was that scene where she said, “Oh, your name's Calvin,” because he had underpants that had a Calvin logo on them. I think that's when it really started, and it's not just in jewelry that name brands have become important. It's also in purses. You look at what Chanel purses sell for, or Birkin bags and how desirable they are. I think we're much more focused on that these days, and that's happened over the last couple of decades. With jewelry, there's also the estate jewelry. When I first got into the business, it was kind of up-and-coming. I think there are two jewelers that are credited with making estate jewelry desirable, and that would be Fred Leighton in New York and Frances Klein in Beverly Hills. Both of those people have died, but they were really the early ones that brought estate jewelry into the realm of being desirable and not old-fashioned or your grandmother's jewelry that you had to remake before you could wear it. You didn't want to be dated in our parents' day and age. Both of them also, I think, have a lot of signed jewelry. It's part of educating the clients. As more people learned about jewelry and learned about how fine a piece of Cartier jewelry is when compared with one that's not signed or made by an inferior jeweler, the appreciation for it and the desire for the signed pieces have grown exponentially. Sharon: That's interesting. I think I'll pay more attention to how a piece lays. There are lot of times when I'm on Instagram and a post will say, “I think it's a Mauboussin. It's not signed, but I can tell by the way it's done.” Do you think there's an amount of unsigned stuff out there that's quality? Nan: What I will say is that over the years, I've had pieces of jewelry come through my hands from clients that were not signed but had been purchased from the house, whether it was a Cartier or Tiffany or Van Cleef. With almost every jeweler, at some point in time, there have been pieces that went through that were not signed. But I always encourage my clients, especially when they purchased it from that house, to go back and ask them to sign it. In general, most pieces are signed, but one of the things we have to be careful of these days is that as the value has gone up on the signed pieces, so have the fake signatures. For example, I remember this beautiful Art Deco bracelet that passed through my hands when I had my own business. It came back a year or two later signed Cartier, and I 100% know that bracelet was not signed Cartier when I saw it the first time. That's one of the things we have to be very, very careful about. A lot of the big jewelry houses will do certificates of authentication that you have to pay for. That's become something that is more desirable as well, because nobody wants to buy a fake or something that's signed that's not correct. Sharon: That's upsetting, yes. In my early days I bought a beautiful tennis bracelet. I still love it. The cut of the stones is a little different; some were different shapes. I was told it was Art Deco, and I know that's what they thought I wanted to hear. When I brought it in later to an appraiser, he said they never cut the stones this way until the 80s. So, I thought, “O.K.” Nan: I know. What I will say, to insert this on the signed pieces conversation, is that there are certain jewelers that don't always have their pieces signed. One of them is Paul Flato, who was a wonderful designer who was big with the Hollywood crowd. Verdura actually worked with Paul Flato before he went off on his own. There are a lot of really wonderful Flato pieces out there that are not signed. In those situations, we try to check. For example, I'll check with the woman who wrote the book on Paul Flato. I'll send her a picture and say, “Do you think this is Flato?” They have references to the original drawings that Flato made on the pieces. So, there are times that happens. You can have a piece that's by an important jeweler that is not signed. Sharon: Are there things in the jewelry you recognize that make you think it's a Flato, even though it's not signed? Nan: Yeah, Flato was a wonderful designer; he made fabulous things. He had certain types of things you'll see a lot. He did things that were made with leaves that have wonderful curling edges, or very whimsical things he would do. He made a lot of custom things for people that had a great sense of humor to them. Probably the best place to get a sense of what his designs look like is the Paul Flato book that Elizabeth Irvine Bray wrote, so I would suggest that. He has a very distinctive style. His things were beautifully made and really dramatic. Years ago, I owned a big brooch and earrings that belonged to Ginger Rogers that were so wonderful. He was a creative genius. Sharon: That's interesting, because the first thing I thought of when you said Flato was the leaf and very large, over-the-top things. Just gorgeous, but it was the leaf that came to mind first, as when you said Calvin Klein, the first thing that came to mind was Brooke Shields. Nan: Exactly, the beginning of the brand. I want my brand. Sharon: Exactly, yeah. I'm dating myself, but O.K. I'm impressed that you left the auction house when you had been there a long time, seven or eight years, and that you went out on your own. To me, it's such a huge step. What was the catalyst for that? Nan: I actually ended up spending 13 years with Sotheby's, five with them in New York and eight in Beverly Hills. I really felt like if I was going to go out and open my own business, I needed to do it when I was still young enough and had the energy to do it. I was very fortunate when I went on my own that I had so many clients that came and brought me jewelry they wanted to sell. They came to me for help buying things or finding things they wanted to build in their personal jewelry wardrobe. It was a really wonderful time. Also timing-wise, it was a fantastic time to enter as a dealer into the business. The big shows, the Las Vegas Show, which is typically in the beginning of June, end of May, and then the big Original Miami Beach Antique Jewelry and Watch Show, which is normally held in late January or early February every year, those two shows were fantastic in the day. They changed a lot, but I can remember when I first started doing the shows, there would be two days of setup at the Miami Show, and we would go and walk the show. We wouldn't even set up our jewelry because on the setup days, a lot of the dealers would go and buy from each other. They would find out what new things had come in, and they would scoop them up before the private clients came in for the show. We would do that, canvas the whole show and buy these wonderful things. There were things where people didn't understand how great they were, how important they were. They didn't price them at their value. We would buy and sell so much on the setup days. Before setup even ended, we would make our expenses, our airfare, our hotel, our booth rent, the showcases, the safe. Everything would be paid for, and then we'd start the show, and we'd be selling more and meeting more clients. It was a really wonderful time to go off on my own. It was fantastic. Sharon: Is it because of the brands, whether it's Cartier or whatever, that the dealers weren't educated, that they just didn't know? They didn't have your background, so they didn't recognize things? How did you get these things? How could you identify them when they didn't know? Nan: I think part of it is that I was so fortunate to have seen so much jewelry over those 13 years at Sotheby's and to have worked with people that were very generous with their knowledge. I can remember going to a show up in Hillsboro, which is south of San Francisco. They used to do that show three times a year. I remember I was up there with a colleague at the time, and I looked down into this tiny, little case at their booth. They had a lot of other things, but there was a Buccellati bracelet in there. I remember asking, “How much do you want for the bracelet?” They didn't even know it was Buccellati. They wanted such a low price for it. I think that's the thing; a lot of people did not know, and it was before the internet had really come into play. Unless people tracked auction catalogues, there wasn't an easy way to know what prices were for things on the secondary market. I think we benefitted from the exposure I'd had in understanding what was good and how to look for signatures. Certain jewelers, when they sign things, their signatures are more obscure. Some are easily found and read, but others are like Van Cleef. A lot of their old things are so hard to see. Once you find them, you go, “Oh, it is Van Cleef. I knew it.” Sharon: I know when I've gone to some of the shows and expressed interest in a piece, the dealer would say, “Oh, I just bought that two days ago.” I was like, “Everybody's supposed to come to the show and be able to look at things.” Nan: That's exactly what happened. They probably bought it during setup day. They just bought it two days ago, and you were the next person to come along and find it. Sharon: Do you think knowledge had increased? I know dealers don't have any interest in doing research, and then there are dealers that research every little thing. Do you think knowledge in general has increased, or just interest? Some like to research and some don't. Nan: I would say in general that knowledge of jewelers has increased with the internet. I will say that probably the most helpful thing I've had, next to working with very knowledgeable people that shared their knowledge, was the library. I started buying books when I was working at the GIA and never stopped, and I used my library. I have library books, all jewelry-related, about all the different makers and periods. That in itself is a huge source of information, but a lot of information in the books in my library is not accessible online. So, it's a combination of things. You can find fascinating articles that people have written on jewelers or periods or movements. The other way to develop your knowledge is by accessing the various books that have been written on whatever given topic you're interested in. I think that knowledge is more readily accessible, and I think that that's helped a lot as well. The more people know and understand, the more comfortable they are buying that piece of jewelry or being drawn to a certain period or knowing what to look for or why a piece is special. Sharon: What about European makers that aren't as known here? Are there some that come to mind or that you recognize? Who would they be? Nan: There are a lot of wonderful makers that are not as known. The brands that everybody knows are the Cartier, Van Cleef, Tiffany, Bulgari, David Webb, Buccellati, those kinds of names. But there are a lot of fantastic, wonderfully talented makers that came out of Europe, and many of them were French. One of the things I was taught early on is that the French make—how would I put this? They put detail and time and thought into the pieces they make. For example, something in the United States might be made so you see all the beauty on the part that faces forward. With the French, they'll think about the back side of it, too, or the edges. It'll be as beautiful on the back as it is on the front, and it's a more thoughtfully made piece. The French are wonderful workmen and artisans. That's one of the things that's a big plus. When I'm going over a piece of jewelry and doing all the work on it, I'm always happy to see a French mark. An interesting thing to know about France is that they will not allow anything that's less than 18 karat to be sold. When you have marks on it—it's the eagle's head mark, which is a gold French mark—it guarantees it's at least 18 karat or higher. Then they have the platinum marks. If somebody wants to import their jewelry from out of the country into France and sell it, they also have to be 18 karat. In those cases, they get the stamp we call the hibou, which is like an owl that says it was sold in France but it was imported into France. The French have always had a higher level of expectation with jewelers, and their pieces in general tend to be really wonderful. Anything that's French is a plus in the jewelry world. Sharon: Today it seems like, when I'm looking Instagram, there are so many one-off jewelers. They're not just one-off pieces, but they're Danish or German or people you've never heard of. They can be American. Not to knock anybody, but is it the design that's more known as opposed to whether the earrings sit on the ear? Nan: It's a combination of those things. At that end of the day, we as women are the ones that are going to be wearing the jewelry, and if it doesn't look good on them, that's not going to carry it forward in a positive way. I would say the French designs are excellent. Generally, they're designed to sit well, but honestly, quite often you'll find that with the good but less-known jewelers, the ones that are not signed or the no-name jewelers, you still need to check. One thing I have noticed over the years is in the Art Deco period, for example in the United States, the jewelry was so beautiful, and there was so much money in the roaring twenties that no expense was spared in the workmanship and the quality of the stones that were used. But quite often over the years, I've seen these Art Deco and 1930s bracelets out of France that are set with very imperfect diamonds, old cuts, low-quality stones, often off-color, and it's interesting. I think Europe must have been in a different economic place than the United States when these were manufactured. Sharon: That's interesting. I was interested in Catalan Art Deco, and the dealers would emphasize to me that the stones weren't of the highest quality. They were used in the piece, but they weren't the highest quality. Nan: Yeah, there you go. Sharon: I'm interested in the overall piece. If the stone isn't the highest caliber, all right, as long as it makes the piece. Nan: Exactly. If it speaks to you and you love it, that's the most important thing. Sharon: Do you agree with the dealers or the people in the jewelry business who say, “It doesn't matter if it's signed if you love it”? What are your thoughts about that? Nan: I think good jewelry is good jewelry. I don't think it has to be signed to be a fabulous piece. The signature certainly helps in the overall value, and people are more aware of that these days than they used to be, but there's a lot of beautiful, beautifully made, beautifully designed pieces out there that are not signed. I'm a big believer in buying what you love. Don't buy what you're lukewarm about. Buy what you really love, and try everything on to make sure it sits the way you want and that you like it. If you really love it, I believe in paying more than you think it's worth. In my opinion, the pieces I love the most I paid so much for, more than I wanted to. I've forgotten about many, but to this day I still love and cherish those pieces.

Long-serving director of cultural affairs for Atlanta, Camille Russell Love joins Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss the upcoming ELEVATE Atlanta Art Festival and celebrating the art and culture scene in Atlanta. Love joins hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick for the Around Atlanta segment. The Office of Cultural Affairs supports the Atlanta art community through grants, art installations, public classes and public schools. This organization holds events such as the Atlanta Jazz Festival. Usually held Memorial Day weekend, the Atlanta Jazz Festival takes place Labor Day weekend, September 5 and 6 in Piedmont Park. The festival kicks off this year's ELEVATE Atlanta Art Festival celebrating reopening, reignition and a reconnection throughout the city. There are two primary divisions of the Office of Cultural Affairs. The Art and Education Division provides grants to the community, organizations and individuals to support operations and projects. Annually, $2 million is granted to applicants. In collaboration with art partners and the community, they support a program called the Cultural Experience Project. This program supports Atlanta public-school children and arranges free field trips to cultural venues such as the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Atlanta Children's Museum, Atlanta History Center and more. Each grade has a specific cultural experience and through this program, students explore Atlanta culturally. The Public Arts Division supports new commissions of public art. Currently, a project is in the works to expand the arts district from Northside Drive by Mercedes Benz Stadium to I-285 by Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The installation project features sculptures, bike racks, water features and everything art that focuses on civil and human rights. The team is also responsible for the maintenance and restoration of art that is already a part of the collection. Atlanta has an extensive art collection in the public domain and because of this, restoration and maintenance need to occur regularly. There are three galleries in Atlanta associated with The Office of Cultural Affairs: Gallery 72, Chastain Arts Center and one located in the mayor's office that focused on artists that may not receive exposure in public galleries. Another program, Art on Loan, focuses on purchasing artwork from individual Atlanta-based artists and installing it in public-facing offices of the city government. The purpose is to educate the public within those spaces on the thriving art and culture in Atlanta, making public and government spaces feel and look better by presenting a partnership with the art community. At the Chastain Arts Center, they also host art classes for individuals in the community. ELEVATE usually takes place in a single community for 10 days, but this year will be different because of the pandemic. To celebrate the decimated art community and to encourage citizens to go explore public spaces, ELEVATE takes place all over the city this year. Throughout September and October, every weekend focuses on a different community across the city. From visual art, performing art, festivals and restaurants to celebrating the art and culture within that specific community, there are lots of activities. “We want to shine a spotlight on communities,” said Love. “ELEVATE is going to be everywhere this year and we are excited that we can provide our citizens with an opportunity to get out and celebrate one another and celebrate art and culture and reconnect with one another.” The overarching theme of this year's festival is REVIVAL. The goal is to revive the city's spirits and connections and to do that, the festival celebrates reopening, reigniting and reconnecting. The Office of Cultural Affairs produces some of the events but also works with partners around the city to educate civilians on their work. The 2021 curator is Charmaine Minniefield, a well-known artist and muralist.

Neil Lewis Jr. doesn't just study social questions—he studies them in the places where they matter. He's an assistant professor of communication at Cornell University, and he's interested in social inequities, how they work, and how we can address them. In addition to his own research, he also consults for organizations and contributes to FiveThirtyEight. He was named a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science in 2019 and won the SAGE Young Scholar award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in 2020.In our conversation, Neil shares his research on health communication and education disparities, talks about what it takes to collaborate outside of academic institutions, and how he approaches science communication.Things we mention in this episode:In my introduction to this episode, I pull from a variety of sources to highlight the value of applied psychological research. These include the research by the Research Branch, Information and Education Division of the War Department, a history of social psychology (Kruglanski & Stroebe, 2011), Kurt Lewin's research on eating organ meats (Lewin, 1943), reflections on social psychology's “fun and games” (Ring, 1967), references to social psychology's “crisis of confidence” (Elms, 1975), and Katz's reflection on the value of basic and applied social research (Katz, 1951).Field study of health messages in a physician waiting room (Lewis et al., 2020) and the laboratory research it was based on (Albarracin et al., 2007)Neil brings up a controversial paper suggesting that social psychology isn't a science—instead, it's a study of history (Gergen, 1973)The opening of the episode features audio from the World War II film, Why We Fight: Prelude to War, produced by the U.S. Office of War Information (1942).Check out my new audio course on Knowable: "The Science of Persuasion."For a transcript of this episode, visit: http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/episode/taking-social-science-into-the-world-with-neil-lewis-jr/Learn more about Opinion Science at http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/ and follow @OpinionSciPod on Twitter.

He touches on a few reasons why he stayed.   LEGACIES AND MANAGEMENT STYLES [7:54] Lifting people up is the one thing he would love his legacy to be. Scott also touches on how he approaches managing his employees; brutal honesty is a good start for him.   DISNEY DAYS [12:20] Despite having been an amazing learning experience, Disney was the wrong culture for Scott and his bull-in-a-china-shop attitude got him spun out.

Be very thoughtful about how you are curating your brand, and if you're an employee of a company, it needs to be congruent with or separate from it.   BEST WORST JOB SCOTT EVER HAD [47:23] Waiting tables! Scott shares exactly what he learned in terms of both customer service and teamwork.   FINAL THOUGHTS [48:40] Don't confuse being efficient with being effective.   [49:41] Michael thanks Scott for coming on the podcast to share his insight and closes out the podcast with his favorite takeaways.   We hope you learned something today and enjoyed the conversation.

Happy International Literacy Day! Welcome to our extraordinary episode as part of our celebrations the week of September 8th! We learn why it is important to reflect, advocate and celebrate all of the work that is going into promoting literacy worldwide. We talk to international, Canadian and Quebec guests for the celebration about this year's theme "Literacy and Multilingualism." Did you know that they are over 7000 languages in the world and only about 5% are represented on the internet? First, we talk with representatives from UNESCO, Borhene Chakroun, Director of the Education Division of Policies and Lifelong Learning systems and Gabriela Cieploch, Project Officer / Communication, Section of Youth, Literacy And Skills Development, Division for Policies and Lifelong Learning, Education Sector. We learn more about the ILD and a global perspective on literacy and about this year’s theme of Literacy and Multilingualism and the year of Indigenous languages. Then we talk with Canadian researchers, who work on Literacy and Multilingualism, Dr Becky Chen and Diana Burchell at the University of Toronto. We learn about the value and challenges that come with knowing more than one language in a child’s development with the right support. We also chatted about the importance of parents’ leadership in the family when it comes to learning more than one language, especially when a different language is spoken at home than in school. And of course we couldn’t miss an opportunity to chat with Gabrielle Thomas from LQ on how we are celebrating International Literacy Day with a week of events! Every two weeks our hosts Jaimie Cudmore and Chris Shee from Literacy Quebec explore topics around community building, lifelong learning and literacy for English-speakers in Quebec.
