SEASON FIVE BROUGHT TO YOU BY FULI GEMSTONES
SEASON 5 EPISODE 1
One only has to look at the pearl's resurgence, powered by the patronage of Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet, to realise how surprising this gem is. So for her 1st episode of the 5th season, Carol talks to jeweller Chrissie Coleman Douglas about the origin and marketing of the pearl, while later she talks to Vogue contributing editor Jack Borkett about the pearl's place in the fashion world.
SEASON 5 EPISODE 3
Carol is joined by star architect John Pawson and self-described jewellery architect Dina Kamal to discuss their work, minimalism and how jewellery and architecture are inseparably linked.
SEASON 5 EPISODE 2
In this special episode, Carol takes you to Puglia, Italy, where this year's Dolce&Gabbana Alta Moda, Alta Sartoria and (most importantly) Alta Gioelleria fashion shows took place. She sits down with real estate developer, high jewellery buyer and self-styled "fashion God" Ricky Moura, and fashion retailer and author Cameron Silver, to find out what makes the world of the high jewellery client go round.

Carol has a lively conversation about the fascinating concept of Spirit Animals, with shamanic practitioner and healer Andréa Ararê, and ultra-hip but spiritual jeweller Diane Kordas.

SEASON 5 EPISODE 7
Carol gets the whole story of that glitziest of showbiz arenas, the Hollywood Red Carpet: the clothes, the celebs, the inside deals, and of course, the jewels. She's joined from Beverley Hills by venerable celebrity jeweller Martin Katz, and his favourite stylist, Linda Medvene.
SEASON 5 EPISODE 9

SEASON 5 EPISODE 11
Elizabeth Taylor - the eternal icon for Hollywood, beauty, celebrity, and jewellery. Carol speaks to two people who knew her well: Sally Morrison, Director of PR at De Beers, who was once Elizabeth Taylor's publicist, and Ward Landrigan, who in his time at Sotheby's, sold some of the key jewels to Taylor and her then husband Richard Burton. A conversation packed with anecdotes and information about perhaps the 20th century's greatest movie star.

Carol speaks to her friend, the author and former Harpers Bazaar editor Justine Picardie, about that towering figure of twentieth century fashion, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel.
SEASON 5 EPISODE 8
Carol has a lively chat with one of the world's great polymaths: musician, model, actress, writer and designer Daphne Guinness, about her life and career.
SEASON 5 EPISODE 10
Following last episode's discussion of a fictionalised Suzanne Belperron, this week Carol gets the full picture of the real historical figure, the wildly talented jewellery designer turned French resistance hero, as recounted by the president of the present day Belperron brand, Nico Landrigan.

Bringing season 5 of her podcast to a close, Carol answers some of the many jewellery questions sent in by listeners, on subjects including the Orlov diamond, the legendary JAR, and what jewellery Carol would buy with three amounts: £100, £1000 and £5000.
