In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy podcast, host Elin Horgan is joined by Hannah Royce-Greensill, founder of Slab Jewellery, whose path to becoming a full-time jeweller began in an unexpected place, freelance web design. Hannah shares how she balanced both careers in the early stages, using her digital skills to support herself while slowly and steadily growing her jewellery business. Hannah opens up about the power of being bold in growing her jewellery business and how a single, heartfelt Instagram post about her dream to be stocked at Clifton Rocks in Bristol led to real-world results. With guidance on refining her collection and setting pricing with stockists in mind, Hannah began transforming her creative passion into a sustainable, professional business. We also dive into her unique approach to events and selling. Rather than traditional craft fairs, Hannah found success in alternative spaces like tattoo conventions, where her hand-carved skulls and spiky designs resonate deeply with the crowd. She shares how travelling to new cities has helped her build a following and forge lasting connections. Even without formal training, Hannah's journey shows how belief in your work, customer engagement, and smart business planning can fuel a thriving jewellery brand.   About Slab Jewellery Handmade gothic jewellery with attitude. From chunky signet skull rings and dagger charm earrings to bone necklaces and spiked stacking rings, each piece of SLAB Jewellery is crafted in Bristol, using low-impact recycled silver and gold.

In this week's episode, host Kim Thompson sits down with Alice from the Museum of Alternative Jewellery to explore the wonderfully imaginative world of non-traditional jewellery making. Alice shares how a childhood love of beads, Polly Pockets, and playful textures evolved into a lifelong passion for alternative jewellery as self-expression and even a personal ‘safety blanket'. From shrink plastic to acorn cups and found objects, Alice reveals how unconventional materials can carry just as much meaning and beauty as precious metals. They dive into how jewellery can be both a memory-holder and a bold personal statement, why alternative materials are often overlooked, and how value in jewellery isn't just about price tags—it's about story, creativity, and connection.   In this episode, you'll discover: The origins of Alice's love for alternative jewellery Why ‘toy jewellery' and found objects deserve recognition The inspiration behind the Museum of Alternative Jewellery How to find beauty and meaning in overlooked materials Creative tips for a no-spend jewellery challenge Favourite makers and communities like the Precious Collective How to get your work featured and connect with alternative jewellery lovers   Whether you're curious about new materials, looking for inspiration, or just love jewellery with a twist, this episode is a joyful celebration of the weird, wonderful, and wildly creative world of alternative adornment.   About Alice Hey, my name's Alice! When I'm not writing under the name The Museum of Alternative Jewellery, I spend my time fixing, photographing, researching and selling vintage and antique costume pieces. It is my goal to shine a spotlight onto obscure techniques, non-traditional materials and makers that I feel have been underappreciated, with the occasional deep dive into our personal and cultural attitudes about jewellery and the conflicting narratives around ‘preciousness'. I deeply believe that jewellery is FIRST and foremost an art form; and The Museum of Alternative Jewellery is here to celebrate that fact!

In this episode, we chat with Krishan Gopaul, Senior Research Analyst at the World Gold Council, who are the authority on Gold. They explore the unique gold market and industry research, producing analysis, commentary, and insights on the precious metal to improve the understanding, access, and trust in the yellow metal. Krishan has been with the World Council for over 14 years and is here today to give us an update on their latest Gold Demands Trend report for the first quarter of this year, some of the main drivers of gold at the moment, investor demand, and the activities of the central banks, and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS In the first quarter of 2025, total gold demand increased by 1% to 1,206 tonnes, marking the highest first quarter of gold demand since 2016. Investment demand, particularly from gold ETFs, was a significant driver of this increase. The main drivers for gold demand included macroeconomic factors such as inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainties. Central banks continued to be a major source of demand, with ongoing purchases contributing to the overall support for gold prices. Retail investment in gold, particularly in bars and coins, saw a 3% year-on-year increase in the first quarter. This growth was driven by heightened uncertainty in the market, prompting both institutional and retail investors to seek gold as a safe haven asset. Central banks have been net buyers of gold since 2010, with significant purchases continuing into 2025. Emerging market central banks, such as those in Poland and China, were noted as key purchasers, maintaining a robust demand for gold. Jewellery demand faced pressure due to rising gold prices, with a 21% year-on-year decline in consumption. However, the value of gold jewellery sales increased by 40% year-on-year, indicating that consumers were spending more despite purchasing less volume, reflecting a shift towards viewing jewellery as an investment. BEST MOMENTS "We saw total gold demand in the first quarter up 1% to 1,206 tonnes, the highest first quarter of gold demand that we have seen since 2016." "In times of heightened uncertainty, gold tends to perform well; people see it as a safe haven asset." "Central banks have been net buyers of gold since 2010, and this trend is likely to persist." "Jewellery consumption was down 21% year on year, unsurprisingly given the rapid increase in price that we've seen."
