Jewelry Navigator Podcast celebrates 100 episodes with a two-part feature with special guest, Graduate Gemologist, Adrianne Sanogo.
You’re in for a treat!
As Adrianne shared what inspired her to become a gemologist, our conversation meandered into topics of current interest to trade and consumers alike.
 
Be sure to subscribe and listen to today’s episode and the continuation later this week with insights into emerald -  this month’s birthstone.
 
As two gemologists with the same passion for informing and educating consumers, we enjoyed discussing how to broadcast the benefits of entering the field of gemology and how gemologists serve the jewelry industry from mom-and-pop jewelry stores to large corporations making major investment decisions.
These are just some of the nuggets I reveal in this fun and informal visit with phenomenal and accomplished Graduate Gemologist, Adrianne Sanogo.
Who is the consumer?
The consumer is not always the shopper.
Consumers are also others in the industry who can be served with current or new information.
