This podcast, and all our products, are proudly Made in Canada.

In this episode I talk about what podcasting means and how we are using it to create a different kind of culture/art show in the podcast-o-sphere.

Topics include: How to start your own podcast, learn how to podcast in 10 minutes flat, podcast gear essentials. I describe what's happening with a plant in the ground here in Canada and how it might be good for this year's jewelry designs.

Why does that official photograph of King Charles III and Queen Camilla look so strange?

I design from my own life experience.

You’ve probably heard the story of TRIBE. How we launched in 1993 as a DJ culture magazine and rocked it for well over a decade, giving birth to Canada's electronic music scene.

But before that, I was a club and after hours party DJ. From 1979-1986, that time when Disco was fading and House music was rising.

I’ve been at hip hop street jams, underground raves, parties in actual warehouses with water dripping from the ceiling like stalactites, underground parking garages, massive 100,000 person events, kitchen parties, boat parties and field parties in hidden meadows.

So when it came to creating a line of luxury jewelry and accessories for DJs, I knew exactly what to do!

In this episode, I share how we transform the idea of the iconic Technics 1200 turntable into rings, bracelets and shoe bling (Shoe Bars). I also introduce our new Sterling Silver Turntable Ingots, functional precious metal assets for your decks.

Can you feel it?

Gemstones have physical and perhaps even spiritual characteristics. Here's an overview of how jewelry designers consider gemstones and how we think about them at Tribe. Well go into deep detail about individual gemstone types in future episodes of the Cannabis Goldsmith. This will get you started.

Recommended Reading about gemstones. I suggest you buy both books.

Science:

Gemstones of the World: Newly Revised Fifth Edition by Walter Schumann

Excellent data and great photography. I am still using my 3rd edition. A good handbook to have at home or in the workshop.

Not Science:

Love Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals by Melody

This is the bible for crystal healers, but be warned, there are no photographs in this book. Use Schumann's book for photographs.

The Cannabis Goldsmith is produced by TRIBE COMMUNICATIONS INC. in the Thousand Islands area of Ontario, Canada.

Silver.

Why do people hate it? Why do people love it? Why do people plate it?

I will explain it all in the Silver episode.

Notes:

Photographs I talk about on the episode are located on our homepage at https://tribe.ca . No filters are used in the photographs to change color. A single lighting position was used with a clean, white-balanced light. Note how different silver can look, depending on surface detail in the design and finish. But, the angle that light strikes it can change silver's appearance too. All this is what makes it so versatile for jewelry design and for wearing :)

It's Episode 10! Can you believe it? It's like I've been talking to you for 5 hours!
