Experiments with Melting Gold over Diamonds with Alexandra Widdern

In this bonus podcast episode, Jess interviews Alexandra, a jeweller who runs her own business called Von W Jewellery. Alexandra specialises in creating fine jewellery pieces using gold and diamonds, employing an experimental technique of melting diamonds into gold. She shares her journey, starting from her early experiences in silversmithing and her advanced studies, which equipped her with the skills to work with precious materials.
Alexandra also talks about her passion for gold and how she alloys her own materials to control the colour and properties of her jewellery. She highlights the importance of experimenting with materials and techniques to push the boundaries of traditional jewellery design, ensuring her pieces have depth and a strong narrative that resonates with her customers.
