I've been thinking how important the Technics 1200 turntable is to humanity. Dust covered, drink soaked, barfed on, even Playa gooed, they rarely complain.

Dear Mark: Instagram is not what it used to be and you need to make it safer before we will buy any advertising on your platform. Sincerely, alexd CEO/tribe Gatekeepers control the free flow of information on the Internet for their own benefit, not yours or mine. If you are a Canadian business and choose to post your content on Meta products, they now suppress the discovery of your content, which is the complete opposite of virality, in order to drive you to buy advertising on the platform. They've convinced users over time that our posted content 'could' go viral. It won't, but a lot of us still feel it might. This Meta brainwashing is exactly what drives smaller businesses to buy ads on the Insta slot machine wheel. The 'hope' of creating virality for your content on the platform with advertising is a false hope. Does gambling like this sound like a smart marketing plan for any business or artist? We can choose not to design or produce content for Mark Zuckerberg, until he stops filling his platform with toxic commercial content that causes teens to cut themselves, to kill themselves. We can choose to kick Zuckerberg to the curb and this is what I will be doing here at tribe. In Canada, small and medium sized business and artists have a larger problem and an even worse gatekeeper: our own government. The Canadian government's new media control law C-18 has triggered Meta to block Canadian online content at scale, so even if a Canadian content provider buy ads on the platform, there is really no guarantee the ads will ever be seen in Canada, or anywhere else. In this podcast I explain why virality doesn't exist on Instagram or any Meta product anymore, and why it isn't wise to use Instagram or any Meta product as your single marketing channel. Produce content for yourself and your customers, not for Instagram or Mark Zuckerberg.

Photographing shiny objects like jewelry is hard. Giving the photographs a brand vibe is even harder. Your brand's public facing photography needs to match your own brand, not Shopify's, or whoever designed your web site. Some good and bad examples of jewelry photography online: Buccellati is still using real photography on their site and it is quite good. The vibe here is quiet professionalism, tradition and high quality jewelry. https://www.buccellati.com/ Georg Jensen is using real photography on their site but some of it's so poorly executed it's odd looking. Or perhaps the photoshop post production team did that. Both the jewelry and the models look somehow off in many of these photographs. https://www.georgjensen.com/en-us/jewelry/new-arrivals My goal is crisp accurate photography against dark backgrounds to minimize distraction and maximize visual richness.

Anxiety and Imagination are closely related. Our huge artist and designer imaginations predispose us to anxiety.

It's my company's 30th Anniversary! On August 15, 1993 I launched TRIBE as a monthly magazine about DJ Culture and Electronic Music in Canada. TRIBE grew and later became the bible of a massive rave and house music scene, sewing the seeds for Canada's hip hop and house music landscape as it exists today. In this episode I go back to 1993 and describe what Toronto was like, why I launched TRIBE, how we did it, what the brand has become, and how we turned into a luxury jeweler. What an adventure and an immense honor and joy to have shared dance floors in the dark under dripping ceilings with you all.

This week, DJ David Morales was in London and wanted to go shopping in the Cartier store on Bond Street. Cartier wouldn't let him in, even though he's a customer and was even wearing one of their expensive bracelets at the time. He posted about this on his Instagram, which is how it came to my attention. Where do I even start... I think Cartier’s treatment of David Morales was unacceptable and unprofessional. They should not judge their customers by their appearance or clothing, but by their character and loyalty. They should not alienate their existing customers or potential customers by creating a hostile and elitist atmosphere. They should respect and value everyone who walks into their store, regardless of their style or background. How does David feel about their products now, I wonder? David, please email me and we'll make you a high jewelry piece that is totally magnificent and more relevant to you as a person, as a human being. xo alexd CEO/tribe DJ David Morales at Cartier on Bond Street Insta Video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvkH93Vtpwg My photograph of David Morales at the launch of Stereo Bar in Montreal, Canada, 1998, TRIBE MAGAZINE: https://tribe.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/web-T56-1998_DSC3733.jpg De La Soul - A Roller Skating Jam Called Saturdays 6 A.M.

I design from my own life experience. You’ve probably heard the story of TRIBE. How we launched in 1993 as a DJ culture magazine and rocked it for well over a decade, giving birth to Canada's electronic music scene. But before that, I was a club and after hours party DJ. From 1979-1986, that time when Disco was fading and House music was rising. I’ve been at hip hop street jams, underground raves, parties in actual warehouses with water dripping from the ceiling like stalactites, underground parking garages, massive 100,000 person events, kitchen parties, boat parties and field parties in hidden meadows. So when it came to creating a line of luxury jewelry and accessories for DJs, I knew exactly what to do! In this episode, I share how we transform the idea of the iconic Technics 1200 turntable into rings, bracelets and shoe bling (Shoe Bars). I also introduce our new Sterling Silver Turntable Ingots, functional precious metal assets for your decks. Can you feel it?

Gemstones have physical and perhaps even spiritual characteristics. Here's an overview of how jewelry designers consider gemstones and how we think about them at Tribe. Well go into deep detail about individual gemstone types in future episodes of the Cannabis Goldsmith. This will get you started. Recommended Reading about gemstones. I suggest you buy both books. Science: Gemstones of the World: Newly Revised Fifth Edition by Walter Schumann Excellent data and great photography. I am still using my 3rd edition. A good handbook to have at home or in the workshop. Not Science: Love Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals by Melody This is the bible for crystal healers, but be warned, there are no photographs in this book.

Silver. Why do people hate it? Why do people love it? Why do people plate it? I will explain it all in the Silver episode. Notes: Photographs I talk about on the episode are located on our homepage at https://tribe.ca . No filters are used in the photographs to change color. A single lighting position was used with a clean, white-balanced light. Note how different silver can look, depending on surface detail in the design and finish. But, the angle that light strikes it can change silver's appearance too. All this is what makes it so versatile for jewelry design and for wearing :) It's Episode 10! Can you believe it? It's like I've been talking to you for 5 hours! xo alexd

In this episode of the Cannabis Goldsmith I describe what it's like to collaborate with the cannabis plant to produce precious metal high jewelry products, how we come up with our jewelry designs and how we work with the plant to create new design directions. I talk about What it's like to break a path in a new industry. I talk about how we separated our design work from the precious metal casting itself, which still happens in the workshop in the jewelry district in downtown Toronto. The tribe design studio in the Thousand Islands is a skunkworks for skunk design. We model plants in waxes and plastic resins, sculpt designs with traditional tools and industrial lasers. We grow 4 plants, year-round, which is legal in Canada. They are our master design models for the products we create. Lately we've run experiments feeding the plants special nutrients to increase the thickness and detail in the leaves, to improve the live casting in the final precious metal products. The results are spectacular. See them at: https://tribe.ca Wear the plant alexd

I was excited to check out the jewelry at the Academy Awards 2023. The red carpet is where you usually get to see extreme fashion and jewelry designers using mega stars as canvases for their art.  But this year, someone changed the color of the carpet to beige at the last minute. They wanted to make this year's Academy Awards different and instead ruined every photograph and video shot on the carpet because of the weird color casts!  Unfortunately, the designers had created their looks to be seen against a different background color - RED. As a result, all the makeup was off-color. All the clothing colors were off. Million dollar gems didn't show accurate color in the media photographs. It was a tragedy. AND, the backgrounds had so many elements and poles on them that objects were always sticking out of star's heads in photographs.  Whoever this carpet person was, take away their Pantone swatchbook before they ruin the Met Gala!

Look at your dog or cat friend over there, the dog or cat who loves you. You probably never realized they are constantly thinking about jewelry, but they are! They're wondering why you bought them that cheap, aluminum name tag. In this episode I talk about how to think about pet jewelry, pet bling. Can it be more than the stupid dog bone charm thing every other dog has?  Yes it can! Dogs deserve good quality custom made bling. Cats too. They are your best friends. They deserve better. Animals have personalities and souls and thus can rock amazing jewelry. Luckily, you can derive jewelry themes from your pet's personality, or give them a gift based on your own personality, soul or character. I talk about how to narrow down aspects of your pet's personality to get ideas for their jewelry and the thinking behind our Dogbuds; cannabis buds we cast into solid Sterling Silver charms for dogs.

Why is it so hard for men to select, pick out, or buy jewelry for themselves or other people? It's because we don't understand jewelry and it's because we get freaked out by the heavy cultural baggage associated with wedding and engagement rings, which tends to limit or cloud our understanding of jewelry in general. I'm here to help, I'm your friendly luxury jeweler dude, the Cannabis Goldsmith. I'm your friend in the business. This episode is specifically for men because we need the most help.
