What is the most recognisable symbol in jewellery history? The heart. In this Valentine's special episode of Gem Pursuit, Matthew Weldon and Fenia Sigkoudi explore the enduring story of the heart motif — a symbol that has carried secret messages, sealed romantic promises, and expressed devotion for centuries. We begin in the ancient world, where the heart was believed to be the centre of the soul, and trace how medieval courtly love helped shape the heart into a romantic emblem. From early love tokens and poetic brooches to protective witch hearts and crowned double hearts, the symbol evolved into a powerful visual language of love, loyalty, and longing. The episode also explores the Victorian era's obsession with sentimental heart jewellery, from Queen Victoria's personal charm bracelets to mourning lockets containing hair and portraits. Moving into the 20th century, we look at wartime sweetheart lockets and Elsa Peretti's revolutionary Open Heart design, which transformed the motif into a modern design icon. Finally, we turn to some of history's most spectacular heart-shaped jewels, including Elizabeth Taylor's Taj Mahal diamond, the legendary Blue Heart Diamond, and the technically astonishing Graff Venus — alongside iconic heart jewels worn by figures from Wallis Simpson to Lady Gaga. From intimate love tokens to world-famous gemstones, the heart has remained jewellery's most timeless symbol — and it's not going anywhere any time soon. www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

"I don't think you will find anyone in India who doesn't wear a piece of jewellery [of some sort]. The Amrapali Collection is a pan Indian one. The jewels in this book are worn by pastoralists, the agricultural communities, the villagers of our country. I look at jewellery as works of art. Our villagers are no longer what they were. So it was important for me to document this art form before it vanishes and the memories of it vanishes. I think every piece of jewellery has a soul and right from birth to death, it is very much a part of our living heritage."  - Usha R Balakrishnan, author, Silver & Gold; Visions of Arcadia, talks to me about the general Indian love for noble metals like gold and silver, our long traditions of finely crafted jewellery, how techniques like granulation and filigree came with the Greeks and minakari with the Portuguese, the belief that gemstones ward off malevolent planetary influences  and "nazar", and how class, caste, ethnicity and marital status and more are conveyed through jewellery Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, host Anna Campbell chats with coach and neurodiversity specialist Aileen Carson about what neurodiversity really means, and why so many creative people (including jewellers) might recognise themselves in it. They talk about conditions like ADHD, autism and dyslexia, and how some people discover they're neurodivergent later in life simply by noticing they think differently, spot patterns others don't, or work in their own unique way. Aileen shares the many strengths neurodivergent makers often have, like creativity, problem-solving, incredible attention to detail and the ability to hyper-focus at the bench — a huge advantage for jewellery makers. The conversation also gets practical, with tips for running a business when you're juggling lots of roles. Aileen talks about managing your energy, finding planning systems that actually work for you, using helpful tools and tech, and setting up a work environment that supports your needs rather than drains you. They also cover something many creatives struggle with: burnout. From taking proper breaks and looking after the basics (food, water, sleep!) to setting boundaries with customers and giving yourself permission to rest, Aileen explains how small changes can make a big difference to your wellbeing and creativity. To wrap up, Aileen encourages makers to lean into what they're naturally good at, trust their creative brains, and remember that not every hobby has to turn into a business.   About Aileen Aileen Carson runs a neurodiversity coaching and training business. She works with neurodivergent people, helping them harness their strengths and find strategies to navigate any challenges they're facing in the workplace or in their business. This often involves support with executive function challenges, managing stress and avoiding burnout. She helps people identify what enables them to work at their best and use this knowledge to find working patterns that work with their brain, rather than against it. She also runs neurodiversity training sessions for employers to help them become more inclusive and she speaks about neurodiversity at conferences and events. https://www.linkedin.com/in/aileencarson/ https://www.instagram.com/aileen_carson_coaching https://www.aileencarson.com/

As the year turns, Matthew takes stock. In this New Year episode, he reflects on 2025 through the lens of a year spent travelling, learning, and paying close attention — from attending international fairs and events, to being nominated for and attending the TikTok Awards, and being elected to the Company of Goldsmiths in Dublin. The conversation then widens to eight years in business at the shop, looking at what has genuinely changed in the jewellery world over that time — from the growing role of social media and self-education, to shifting ideas of expertise and authority. Matthew considers the rise of AI and digital tools in identifying antiques and reproductions, and where human knowledge, judgement, and experience still matter most. Finally, he looks ahead to 2026, sharing thoughts on the metals, stones, styles, and movements that feel increasingly significant, as well as the fairs and moments worth watching in the year to come. A considered reflection on jewellery, experience, and perspective — and on how the industry continues to evolve, often in unexpected ways.www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

In this episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, Jess is joined by Liz Lloyd, founder of Liz Lloyd Jewellery, to talk about her journey into jewellery and what it takes to build a confident, professional jewellery business. Liz shares how an early love of making jewellery led her back to the bench after a long career in teaching and creative work. During lockdown, she rediscovered jewellery making and found Jewellers Academy which helped her move from experimenting to building a business with intention. She talks about completing the Diploma in Silver Jewellery, describing it as a key moment in finding her style, building confidence, and developing skills in a structured, apprenticeship-style way. Liz also shares how joining the Jewellery Business Academy gave her the focus and structure she needed to grow sustainably, choosing to work on one area of her business at a time. Jess and Liz discuss the importance of communication in jewellery business, why investing in professional photography can transform how your work is perceived, and what Liz learned from creating her first full jewellery collection inspired by nature and architecture. They also explore building a website that feels calm and luxurious, pacing yourself creatively, and balancing making with promotion. This is an inspiring listen for anyone, particularly if you are coming to jewellery making after another career.   If growing your jewellery business is your goal for 2026 then check out the Jewellery Business Academy.

Jane Morris was a muse of the Pre-Raphaelites, a central figure in the early Arts & Crafts movement and the quietly powerful presence at the heart of an influential artistic circle. In this episode, Matthew and Fenia explore the story behind Rossetti's The Blue Silk Dress, focusing on the jewellery Jane wears and the symbolism carried within the portrait. Drawing only on what is known from surviving records, letters and the painting itself, we trace Jane's path from Oxford to her role within the Morris household and the artistic world that formed around it. The bracelet, the brooch, the rich textiles and embroidery — each reflects the ideals that would shape both the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts movements. www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, Jessica Rose shares all about the brand-new Diploma in Wax Jewellery. This is the fifth online one-year Diploma to be created. Whether you're completely new to wax or an experienced jeweller ready to dive into wax jewellery, this episode gives you a full behind-the-scenes look at what to expect from this year-long programme. Jess walks you through how the Diploma works, from the flexible weekly time commitment to the unique 'wax to metal' process where you'll carve your designs, send them to a caster, and then learn the essential skills to clean up and finish your final pieces. Unlike other Diplomas, students only submit their work once at the end of the course, giving plenty of time to refine each project. You'll also hear how termly check-ins support accountability and how every student is paired with a professional wax jeweller as a mentor for the year. Jess explores the wide variety of projects and techniques you'll learn: from foundational wax carving and building shaped signet rings, to stone setting in wax, cast-in-place techniques, soft wax sculpting, the Mitsuro Hikime method, build-up techniques with a heat pen, and even optional sand casting for those with the tools at home. Jess also introduces you to the expert tutor team, including master stone setters and specialist wax jewellers who will guide you through each step. You'll get a clear picture of the year, from September through to July, and discover how the final project helps you create a cohesive mini collection to kickstart or elevate your jewellery business. If you'd like to see examples of the projects, ask questions, or explore whether this diploma is right for you, join us for the live Open Day on Wed 3rd Dec 2025 at 8pm UK time GMT.

In this episode, we explore Andy Warhol's silkscreen print portrait of Caroline of Monaco, created for Vogue in the early 1980s. We discuss the bold colours, big hair, bare-back pose, and the striking sapphire-and-diamond jewels that define the portrait's 1980s style. We also look at the pop art movement, celebrity culture, and Caroline's reputation as the “rebel princess”. Beyond the portrait, we dive into two extraordinary pieces connected to Caroline: a Belle Époque reed stomacher symbolising resilience, and a 1910 platinum and blue-enamel Valkyrie-style headpiece with detachable wings. The conversation highlights her creative, versatile approach to jewellery and the multifaceted personality reflected in her portraits and pieces. www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

Jemma and Marina are back, sifting through another load of digital debris so you don't have to. Luckily, the weekend is in sight… though Christmas is also looming, the cosi-livs crisis continues to chew through bank accounts, and the UK's politicians? Well, they're arguing amongst themselves as usual.The Trawl ladies check in on the incoming budget, beautifully skewered by Cody Dahler, before plunging into the asylum “crackdown” that many Labour backbenchers are struggling to defend. Jemma and Marina explore the prospect of refugees building 15 years of life in the UK… only to be told “tara mate, off you pop” when their home country is reclassified as “safe”.LBC's Tom Swarbrick is quite happy with what's being mooted, but the Greens are not having it.

In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, award winning entrepreneur Jessica Rose dives into what it really takes to grow a jewellery business once you're three or more years in. If you've moved past the experimentation phase and are ready to build something profitable, sustainable, and strategically focused, this episode is your roadmap. Jessica explores the core pillars that help jewellers transition from busy and functioning to thriving and scalable, sharing her own experiences - wins, mistakes, and moments of truth along the way. Covering: 1. Getting Focused (Stripping It Back) After years of trying all the things - craft fairs, website sales, wholesale, teaching - the next stage is all about narrowing it down to what works for you and what you enjoy. Jessica explains why spreading yourself thin keeps you small, and how choosing one or two key areas to pour your energy into can create dramatic results. Expect a powerful analogy from GCSEs to degree-level specialism to help you rethink your business focus.   2. Profitability & Revenue-Generating Activities To grow you need to be making a profit. Jess looks at the difference between the work you love and the work that actually brings money in and why you need to know which is which. From launches and fairs to analysing your product range, you'll learn how to spot what's truly profitable and what needs adjusting or subsidising.   3. Taking Yourself Seriously (Investing in You & Your Business) If you want a serious business, you have to treat it like one. Discover how regular investment - in training, professional photography, and the development of your own skills - creates momentum, confidence, and higher-level results.   4. Selling Higher-Ticket Jewellery If you want higher revenue without burning out, you need higher-value sales. Jess talks through the psychology of desire-based buying, how to showcase your high-ticket pieces effectively, and why your customers should never have to imagine what your work could look like in gold.   5. Delegating (Even Before You Think You're Ready) Delegation is essential for growth, even if it feels uncomfortable. Jessica shares her personal story of hiring help long before she felt she could "afford" it—and how that single decision rapidly transformed her income, time, and creative freedom. JOIN THE LIVE masterclass THIS WEEK If you're ready to step into the next chapter of your jewellery business with clarity, confidence, and a solid strategy for 2026, join Jess for a free live masterclass, where she'll go even deeper into these topics and help you map out your personalised plan for growth.

What do you do when chronic illness forces you to give up the craft you love? If you're Gillian, you reinvent everything and end up with a jewellery business as unique as the pages it's made from.

In this special episode of Gem Pursuit, we turn from the past to the present — and to one of the most daring jewellery thefts in recent memory. In October 2025, eight pieces of the French Crown Jewels were stolen in broad daylight from the Louvre's Galerie d'Apollon. Valued at €88 million, the missing treasures include the tiara of Empress Eugénie and the emeralds of Empress Marie Louise — jewels once worn at the height of imperial splendour, now vanished without a trace. Matthew unpacks what happened, how the heist unfolded, and the remarkable stories behind each stolen piece. Were the thieves experts, opportunists, or just reckless? And could these legendary jewels one day resurface — as they have so many times before in history?

This week's host jeweller Kelly Twigg, speaks with Kasey Williams, founder of Nunatak Jewellery, who is currently deployed in Antarctica. Kasey talks about her passion for both her environmental engineering career and her jewellery-making hobby. Kasey shares her unique experience of making jewellery in an extreme environment, discussing how she adapts her techniques to the cold and dry conditions, and how she sources her materials. She also talks about her journey into silversmithing, her inspirations from nature and her travels, and her plans for Nunatak Jewellery after returning to Australia.  This is a fascinating insight into the skills you need to make jewellery in a challenging place including resourcefulness and problem-solving skills.  https://www.jewellersacademy.com/ Instagram @jewellersacademy   About Kasey Nunatak is a handmade silver jewellery brand created in one of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth—Antarctica. Founded in 2025 by Kasey during her fourth season on the icy continent, Nunatak began as a creative outlet to keep her hands and mind busy during the long, cold polar winter. What started with a few quiet hours at the workbench in a research station has grown into a deeply personal craft, shaped by experience, resilience, and a love for untamed places. Kasey has been making silver jewellery since 2021, creating pieces both at the edge of the world and back home in Tasmania, Australia, where the wilderness is just as inspiring. With a background in environmental engineering, her work is grounded in a respect for nature's forms, materials, and stories. Each design is handcrafted with intention—simple, strong, and made to last—just like the adventurers who wear them. Website: www.nunataksilver.com Instagram: @_.Nunatak._
