We summon the stars; we conjure the moon and commune with the eldest and wisest celestials... to give you a few random thoughts and predictions. This is still a jewelry show, right?

Yes, we did that.

Spoiler alert, we don't.

Chasing trade... shows. You pervert. We're talking about trade shows!

Contrary to the industry rumors swirling about, Emili has NOT been fired! This is also an episode about pricing... Or whatever.

Well, last week sure did happen. If you're feeling despair, we can't help much with that, but we can invite you to join our chat with the talented wise, and beautiful Tess Sholom. She drops some real wisdom in this one and gives us the strength to hope and carry on.

Here we are... yet again.

Join us - Alain Simic, and Amy Elliott - as we are joined by one of our favorite humans in jewelry, Gabriella Harvey! We sit with Gabbi to chat about her incredible career ( Gemfields, Muzo, etc... ) starting something new, and building something all your own later in life. Enjoy!

Join us - JB Jones, Alain Simic, and Amy Elliott - for, well, politics. Listen, we know you come to Rough Cut for a cheap laugh and a bad dick joke, so we don't blame you for skipping this one; we actually encourage it! There is just too much happening in the world and we felt the need to do this... why? We don't even know, but here we are.

This episode was recorded on Thursday, July 18th and, as you'll hear, it turns out we are a little bit psychic on recent events! We will be back to our regular dog and pony show next week on Tuesday, July 30th, so if you don't want to hear our musings on the state of our democracy, wait until then!

Goodnight and good luck!

Join us, well, just me! - Alain Simic - for a chat with the talented, highly skilled, and, according to some, controversial Michael Robinson of David Michael Jewels! In this episode, we spend some time introducing Michael and his process to the audience during the first 20 minutes of the episode and then find ourselves debating what kinds of jewelry does or does not constitute art. We talk about CAD, mass production, synthetic gemstones, storytelling, and the need for human connection in all things.
