In a wide-ranging episode of The Jewelry District Podcast, JCK editors Victoria Gomelsky and Rob Bates interview Bruce Bridges, CEO of Bridges Tsavorite and AGTA president, about his deep family roots in African mining and the legacy of his father, Campbell Bridges. The conversation moves from Bruce's upbringing in Kenya and the harrowing pursuit of justice following his father’s murder to the legendary gemstones Campbell discovered and his visionary dream of creating an elephant sanctuary on their mining property. Bruce also provides a professional outlook on the gemstone industry, discussing the impact of tariffs on the Tucson gem shows and offering a glimpse of the rare stones he intends to showcase there.
