Episode 38: Live with Jean-Christophe Bedos on the Business of High Jewelry.

Jean-Christophe Bedos has been the President and CEO of Cartier France, the global President and CEO of Boucheron and now President and CEO of Maison Birks, and thus has had a unique view of the massive changes and growth in the industry from 1988 to the present from the very top.

Art influencing art! I really enjoyed the insight into these different but overlapping worlds.

Interesting perspective on jewelry!

Lately I’ve been really into podcast topics on the history of fashion and craftsmanship but also sustainability. And really enjoying this one. There’s so much to learn about the history of jewelry and the uniqueness of pieces that are in the Beekman collection
