In this week's episode, Alex is joined at his home in London by brilliant textile artist, friend and self confessed ‘non-jewellery lover’ Tessa Brown, for a chat about some bittersweet jewellery she owns, with a fascinating, dark and complicated family history.

Listen in as Alex and Tessa discuss her stepmother’s South American adventures with a Texan treasure hunter, a pair of spectacular Chilean ‘handbag’ earrings and how jewellery so often represents the remnants of legacies that are a part of who we are.
