Join us, well, just me! - Alain Simic - for a chat with the talented, highly skilled, and, according to some, controversial Michael Robinson of David Michael Jewels! In this episode, we spend some time introducing Michael and his process to the audience during the first 20 minutes of the episode and then find ourselves debating what kinds of jewelry does or does not constitute art. We talk about CAD, mass production, synthetic gemstones, storytelling, and the need for human connection in all things.
