New Episode: Talking (Political) Shit!
We'll be back with our lovable jewelry banter when the dust settles. But maybe you need this as much as we did?
What’s the New Episode About?
It’s us—JB Jones, Alain Simic, and Amy Elliott—talking, 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. But there’s just too much happening in the world to stay on-topic, and we felt the need to do this...why? We don't even know, but here we are.
This episode was recorded on July 18, and as you'll hear, it turns out we are a little bit psychic when it comes to recent events! We’ll be back to our regular dog-and-pony show next week (episode drops July 30)!

What is Rough Cut Podcast?
We’re proud to share that Rough Cut podcast is one of the longest-running and most popular jewelry podcasts in the world. Founded by NYC Jewelry Week co-founder JB Jones and noted jewelry and style photographer Alain Simić, the podcast now functions as an independent entity with two additional co-hosts: jewelry industry journalists Amy Elliott and Emili Vesilind. It remains, as ever, a platform for showcasing the unique perspectives and personalities that make jewelry —and the jewelry industry—perennially fascinating, occasionally frustrating, but always amazing.
