For some people, it’s very hard to hold on to sentimental jewelry from former relationships. In some cases, it’s even harder to let those pieces go if they finally decide to sell them. On this episode, Chris is joined by Brittany Lacey and Stephanie Burset, the founders of For Richer Jewelry. The pair takes a unique approach to reselling jewelry, marketing the value of 'pre-loved' engagement rings. Their business is helping to revolutionize the industry by empowering consumers to buy and sell jewelry on their own terms. Throughout the interview, you’ll hear about their triumphs of starting a business without a traditional storefront, the importance of consumer research, and their vision for the future of For Richer Jewelry. Not only was this a gem of a discussion, but it also provides some valuable lessons for anyone interested in sustainable business practices.

About For Richer Jewelry
Stephanie Burset and Brittany Lacey met in 2019 working on the brand management team at a direct-to-consumer start-up in Nashville, TN. They each have more than a decade of consumer goods and brand management experience. Their strong brand backgrounds have led them to consider consumer pain points in everything they experience. When faced with the challenge of how to re-sell wedding jewelry, they used their GM-mindset backgrounds to found For Richer, an online jewelry resale platform which strives to take the stigma out of reselling wedding and engagement rings.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
