Welcome to the Jewelry District, a podcast by J.C.K. Brought to you by De Beers. Today, Rob Bates and Victoria Gamalski talked to Eddie Levion, CEO of Levion.

Hey, everyone.

Welcome to the Jewelry District.

This is Victoria Gamelski, editor-in-chief of JCPay andCK Online.com, calling in from Los Angeles, and I'm with.

Rob Bates, news director of J-C-K and J-CK Online.com, calling in from New York City.

You're stomping ground. I made the quickest trip to New York I've ever made. I did a 24-hour turnaround.

I flew in on Tuesday and came back. Pardon me. I flew in on, yeah, Tuesday and Wednesday. I've been like my calendar, you know, how it populates, you get these alerts that you've got things going on. Well, when you're in a different time zone and you accept the calendar invite based on that time zone, but it's in fact a different, you know, it's like I've had these snafus all week where I'm joining calls an hour late or three hour early. Yeah, it never made sense to me how that works. Yeah, I've been very turned around and confused. I literally joined a big team's call yesterday three hours in advance, and I'm like, hello, is anyone going to let me in? And then I realize, oh, gosh. So I'm happy to be

home on my normal West Coast time zone right now, getting my head on straight. I also was going to say

I spent, you know, most all of last week in Tucson. And I know that this isn't our catch-up episode,

so I'll save my takeaways about Tucson for our next podcast, but I just

wanted to tease that coming up. So there's lots to say. Your frequent flyer miles must be

impressive. You know, you would think. You would think. I've learned that the goal we're frequent

flyer miles is loyalty to one carrier, and I have tended to split my loyalty a bit

and now I'm trying to double down. So yeah, they would be, they would be great if it weren't

for the fact that I was two-time in my airlines a bit. I mentioned Tucson earlier and it's,

it's funny that the last time I saw our guest today happened to be in the aisles of Tucson, just this last, I guess it's been a week.

It's all blur now.

But we ran into each other and it was a delightful meetup.

I had not seen him in person for a while.

But of course, he is somebody who's very, very well known in this industry and a real mover and shaker, I would say,

somebody whose family goes back generations, and I can't believe we haven't had them on the podcast yet.

Thrilled to welcome Eddie Levion, the CEO and designer of, of course, Levion, one of the biggest jewelry companies in our business.
