Welcome to Rough Cut

Rough Cut Podcast is a platform for showcasing the unique perspectives and personalities that make jewelry—and the jewelry industry—perennially fascinating, occasionally frustrating, but always fun.

Join us on the podcast for beguiling tales from the annals of jewelry history; unfiltered guest commentary on the issues; candid and irreverent advice and rapid-fire discussions of the designers the hosts are following and the jewels they covet.

And join us here on Substack for a deep dive into the topics covered on each episode, links to what we share, behind the scenes insights from the hosts and exclusive releases.

Rough Cut is hosted by Alain Simic, JB Jones, Amy Elliot and Emili Vesilind.
