Talisman in the Press: Boulder Lifestyle Magazine

I can’t tell you how delighted I was when I heard that Boulder Lifestyle magazine wanted to profile Talisman Fine Jewelry for their June 2022 print issue… I’m a huge fan of the publication, its creative art direction, and its support of local artisans. Plus it’s always nice to connect with folks from my beloved hometown.

Writer Kailey Beuerlein asked some fun, out-of-the-box questions that you can peep below. I’m always excited to gab about my hippie, weirdo parents and the eclectic, formative upbringing that Boulder provided. You can read the article in its full glory starting on p36 here. Thanks again to Boulder Lifestyle publishers Kate and Andy Manz, writer Kailey Beuerlein, and the rest of the team!

I could not be more thrilled to be featured in the very first iteration of Worthwhile Goods’ series “Good Humans,” up now on WorthwhileGoods.com. Worthwhile Goods is a curated resource for ethically-minded fashion, beauty, wellness and home goods, launched by an old pal of mine, Hannah Armitage. Hannah and I go way back… back to when I owned my boutique Goldyn, before it was even a brick-and-mortar boutique (yeah that’s way way back). Picture 26 or 27-year-old me, working out of a giant open warehouse space, packing up online orders, while Hannah, roughly the same age, photographs her vintage wares on the seamless backdrop we shared. Anyway, I digress.

Fast-forward to today: Hannah has launched several successful companies in the fashion sphere, including her latest, Worthwhile Goods, and I am in my 3rd professional life as a jeweler. She and I sat down and got to talking about all kinds of interesting topics - from beginnings and creative inspiration, to things like business advice for entrepreneurs, morning routines, and wardrobe staples. Fun stuff! You can peep the whole interview here.
