Welcome to the Gilt Trips podcast. I'm your host, Kendra Lockhart. As a goldsmith and
gemologist, I'll be speaking 24 carat on all things jewelry, metals, and gems. Join
me plus a few friends to demystify both materials and designs as your private jeweler. Let's
tune in on these topics and get golden. Hello! And wasn't season one kind of fun? First I
want to start with a thank you. When I made this project, it was to help out people in
my industry who were getting their toes wet and getting a little overwhelmed with everything
that there is to know. What I didn't see coming was that my podcast project would have
a reach of hundreds of thousands of people and get listened to in over eight countries
around the world. Thank you. Going into season two, we want to build on season one's education
part of jewelry and allow season two to be the experiential part. You know, the things
that you can't read in a book or things you might not learn while being so professional
behind the counter. So to keep it quite simple, we begin the next round of episodes with some
of my favorite stories. I'll cover adventures, misadventures, mistakes, and a few miracles.
Thanks for joining me. Thank you for listening and learning with me. I would love you to
share this project with people finding rare beauty in today's world and throughout our
times. Until the next episode, keep your own stories sparkling.
