    Matthew and Alyce are so engaging, and each episode has nuggets of knowledge for jewelry lovers of all knowledge levels. I hope to be able to stop by Courtville next time I am in Dublin!

    Absolutely brilliant!
    I started following Matthew on social media. I visited the store on a trip to Ireland recently…made a purchase and had a blast learning from them. I had not listened to Alyse & Matthew’s podcast before the visit. I’ve been on a “bender” of listening to their podcasts since I left! They have such a vast knowledge of the antique jewelry industry and pieces. I’ve so enjoyed listening! It’s as if I’m sitting in the shop with them talking all over again. I’m never going to be a millionaire investing in jewelry, but with them as my guides, I can learn a great deal and hopefully know what to look for! Give this a listen, they really play well off one another. They each bring their own unique passions and opinions to the table. Quite entertaining!!

    A treasure trove of information 💎💎💎💎💎
    Gem Pursuit is an absolute 💯 must-listen if you are an admirer of fine jewelry, gemstones, and/or interested in building your own collection. I can’t thank you enough, Matthew and Alyse, for the knowledge you so generously share with us. Hope to meet you in NYC this April or Dublin in May!

    Brilliant
    I am a fan of gems and jewelry and consider myself knowledgeable. Nope. After listening to these podcasts now I consider myself more knowledgeable yet not close to Matthew and Alyce’s knowledge. They have given me a reason to look at turquoise pieces. I also appreciate how they mention famous gems of the type they are talking about. Today google was all over Faberge Pink Topaz Cross.

    Amazing info
    Started out looking for a podcast about Tiffany’s because I just had gone to New York. The Tiffany’s podcast turned out to be phenomenal so I started listening to the rest of them. Now I am hooked and I really wish I could find some antique jewelry. I have learned so much! And if I ever get back to Ireland, I am definitely going to Courtville.

    Educational and a fantastic listen
    I wish they published more often. This podcast has taught be a lot about jewelry, the history of gems, styles…the hosts do a fantastic job keeping their material entertaining. I would think that they might benefit from offering something to build an email list for people who love antique jewelry. Their content has given me a new appreciation for some fine pieces I’ve inherited. I might like to buy more…or sell at some point.
