In this episode of the Pearls of Wisdom Podcast, we’re live from the Atlanta Jewelry Show with a very special guest—Bill Warren, owner of The Gold Mine Fine Jewelry & Gifts in Hudson, North Carolina. Bill has built a thriving business that combines traditional jewelry with modern custom design and repair, offering clients a unique experience that keeps them coming back.
Beyond running his store, Bill is also an accomplished author, speaker, and mentor in the jewelry industry. His two bestselling books, both of which reached #1 on Amazon, share powerful insights on marketing, profitability, and strategies for success. He also founded the Ultimate Jewelers Mastermind, now with nearly 100 members, fostering collaboration and growth among jewelers nationwide.
In this conversation, Bill reflects on his journey from jeweler to coach, sharing lessons learned through decades of experience. He talks about the importance of connecting with peers, attending industry events like the Atlanta Jewelry Show, and how one meaningful encounter with a fellow jeweler transformed the way he runs his business.
Bill’s story is full of practical wisdom and inspiration for jewelers at every stage. From embracing innovation in custom design to coaching others toward success, his journey is a reminder that growth comes through learning, collaboration, and giving back to the industry you love.
