Description

Bench Jeweler Memes is a weekly jewelry industry podcast hosted by working bench jewelers Dusty & Brad.

We talk jewelry repair, bench work, stone setting, jewelry stores, tools, industry news, customers, business, and all the weird stuff that comes with making a living in the jewelry industry.

But fair warning: this probably isn’t your typical professional jewelry podcast.

We’re here for the stories, struggles, questionable opinions, ridiculous situations, great guests, and conversations that happen when jewelers are actually talking to other jewelers.

Whether you’re a bench jeweler, goldsmith, jewelry store owner, designer, salesperson, apprentice, or just someone who works in this wonderfully strange industry — pull up a bench and hang out with us.

A jewelry podcast that’s occasionally helpful, rarely serious, and always about the industry we love.

What happens when corporate speak meets the jewelry industry? Brad throws some painfully familiar corporate phrases at Dusty to see how well they translate to life as a bench jeweler. Spoiler: probably not well. Then we dive into a post from Jewelers Helping Jewelers, wander completely off topic as usual, and somehow end up with Dusty secretly rage baiting Brad with some of the internet’s finest loaded questions. But now we need YOUR help. What truly triggers a jeweler? What customer ph...

Episode 55: Benchies Be Like… Apparently, there are A LOT of things that bother and offend bench jewelers. This week we bounce around from the things that drive benchies crazy, to getting ready for the holiday season, to the never-ending adventure of bench jeweler job postings. And, as usual, one topic somehow turns into a completely different topic that we absolutely did not plan on talking about. You know how we do. It’s another episode of two bench jewelers talking shop, complaining ...
