Welcome to the Gilt Trips podcast. I'm your host, Kendra Lockhart. As a goldsmith and

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,560
gemologist, I'll be speaking 24 carat on all things jewelry, metals, and gems. Join

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,080
me plus a few friends to demystify both materials and designs as your private jeweler. Let's

4
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:37,320
tune in on these topics and get golden. Hello! And wasn't season one kind of fun? First I

5
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,080
want to start with a thank you. When I made this project, it was to help out people in

6
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,160
my industry who were getting their toes wet and getting a little overwhelmed with everything

7
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,920
that there is to know. What I didn't see coming was that my podcast project would have

8
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:00,200
a reach of hundreds of thousands of people and get listened to in over eight countries

9
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:08,000
around the world. Thank you. Going into season two, we want to build on season one's education

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,320
part of jewelry and allow season two to be the experiential part. You know, the things

11
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:20,000
that you can't read in a book or things you might not learn while being so professional

12
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,720
behind the counter. So to keep it quite simple, we begin the next round of episodes with some

13
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:37,320
of my favorite stories. I'll cover adventures, misadventures, mistakes, and a few miracles.

14
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:46,480
Thanks for joining me. Thank you for listening and learning with me. I would love you to

15
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,480
share this project with people finding rare beauty in today's world and throughout our

16
00:01:50,480 --> 00:02:17,480
times. Until the next episode, keep your own stories sparkling.
