Artist and jewelry designer Reena Ahluwalia returns to the show. The conversation starts with Reena explaining how and why she recently immersed herself in the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Paul and Reena then take a step back and discuss what NFTs (and the Metaverse) are in a more general sense. The two then discuss what NFTs mean for the diamond and jewelry industry specifically, and Reena explains what she likes about Bulgari's approach to incorporating the technology into their brand and jewelry. Next, Reena suggests how an independent retailer or jewelry designer can get started in the world of NFTs. The conversation then moves to "Web3," what it means and the implications it will have on the future of the internet. Finally, Reena shares her thoughts on current jewelry design trends.
