The best place 😭

I don't like to play favorites with my articles but #lapidary is such a big (and growing) interest of mine, and I had such fun with an article about Victor Tuzlukov's World Heritage Collection. Here's a sneak peek, but you have to be a subscriber to read!

Just saw a woman fully walk INTO AND OVER someone’s rolling luggage at ORD and follow it up with “I’m so sorry, the ice cream was calling.” Girl if I had a nickel…

I WILL BE SO SAD IF THIS ISN'T REAL

I like writing 'GIA GG' behind my name so much I might just start adding those credentials everywhere my name goes

Told my Vegas taxi driver I was here for the jewelry shows and now he's teaching me all about gemstones 🙃

GemGuide's May/June 2023 issue is out! I'm biased but I think it's great. Particularly curious about feedback on Richard Hughes's article. But the whole issue is full of good market info! Enjoy. (And if you're not a subscriber yet, wyd?)

I have figured out how to find my future friends in the coworking space: when it's 4 pm and they're partaking in the wine on tap. 🍷🍷

I created this series to offer the trade an important look at source countries around the world, but sourcing developments overall are also my favorites to write. I hope you like the articles as much as I like researching and reporting them.

Am thinking I should do buzzword bingo each week? Or maybe, since they have wine on tap, make it a drinking game? 😆

I just started using a coworking space in NY and I'm obsessed with how many buzzwords I hear on calls. So far: 'thought leader,' 'innovator,' 'vibes,' and 'really *driving* the experience.' Can't wait to throw 'em all off with calls about gemstones.

I wonder if the frisson of excitement I get by adding “GIA GG” after my name will ever wear off
