An ode to jewels, goldsmithing and design

This episode is something of an ode to jewels, goldsmithing and design – but also the human urge to collect. We’ll visit the imposing and eccentric Geneva home that inspires Maison Belmont; chat to the founder of jewellery brand Annoushka about the symbolism and personal history that infuses her work; and delve into the history of Persian jewellers, Le Vian. Plus: our audio essay reflects on the power of planting trees as a gesture of remembrance and hope.
