How to clean your jewellery with special guest Brea Fullerton founder of Shinery
One question I am asked often in the appraisal lab is "how should I clean my jewellery"? There are many suggestions online but it's incredibly important that you are using a solution that is safe for the pieces you are trying to clean. Brea Fullerton CEO and founder of Shinery joins me to discuss Shinery jewellery cleaner and jewellery cleaning in general. If you have visited the appraisal lab I use Shinery to clean all of the jewellery that visits. It is the product I suggest clients use. The results are fantastic! In this episode we talk Oprah's favourite things, the Oscars and more!

Timeless Allure. Current design trends drawing inspiration from the past.
The jewellery history timeline is expansive and there are many incredible design eras of the past that jewellery designs of today draw inspiration from. This episode was inspired by an article Sherrie wrote for TJC magazine that will go to print in early 2024. When you browse the jewellery showcase where do you find hints of history? This episode touches on diamond cuts, motifs, materials and even what's trending in groomsmen jewellery fashion.
