Emma Lovell 03: 12

Emma Lovell 03: Thank you so much for being here. We are both rocking your gorgeous designs for people who are listening. We look fabulous in our area. Alex, you can tell me about yours. But I'm wearing the hoops the EP hoops, right? Yes, yes. This is fun. Actually, I went to by myself, I'm just gonna jump right into your story and your brand. But I actually had told you that I put your beautiful signature silver pineapples on my list. As my reward list, I have a reward list. So when I do good things or achieve big kick goals, I can get it. And so I think it was signing someone else onto my retreat or something like that. And I kicked my goal. And I told you I was gonna do it. And then I wrote to him I was like, thankfully I wrote to you and I said, I achieved my goal. I'm gonna go buy my pineapples and you said wait a minute, that's like and so my stinky squirrel mother who is like if anybody has an econ business, I will introduce my mother Sara level to your brand and your brand will survive solely alone on her business and her custom but my mum had actually bought me the silver pineapples which were allowed to sneaky squirrel told me and so I was forced to go introduce myself another set of your beautiful earrings and I wear them now.

04: 35

04: Yes, but yeah, they're um they're my favorites. I think they they're the biggest in the collection full stop and the door is where I started and um, yeah, and they are the biggest sign

Emma Lovell 04: 48

Emma Lovell 04: that yours because yours like you know fun story for yours too that you're wearing today. Yeah,

04: 53

04: these are. These are the ones that M is wearing, by the way are hoops and the ones that I'm wearing are stud. So when I started the business, it was around the time I had been doing a lot of travel, and sunsets and sunrises and me in that go way, way back to my childhood, I could tell you 1000 stories about what that means to me. And I was in Sri Lanka actually, and designed this pair of earrings based on a sunset. So they are mega silver basin, discs or circles which are reflective. So they shine a lot of light and a lot of different directions. And the way that they are crafted means that no two pairs of the same just like any two sunsets and any two day, any two days in your life. So that's what they mean to me. And you actually had the mini version. Yes.

Emma Lovell 05: 58

Emma Lovell 05: Yes, I do. It's so lovely. And yeah, they are gorgeous. And I love that you said about the reflective and they no two are the same. That's very special. And it's fun. Because yeah, you can just see a piece of jewelry and go, that's nice. But there is a story behind the jewelry does tend to be very sentimental, doesn't it? And you know, it's something that we wear clothes, but I don't know, we wear jewelry in a different way. And it's called carries a lot of emotion and meaning. But let's go back a step that I've launched in that. Tell me a little bit in your words. Who you are Alex tymphany.

06: 41

06: Alex tympani. So first and foremost, I've got two daughters. One is almost four and the other one is just over one. And an awesome husband that comes with those two daughters. And my business is Alex tympani jewelry. So this is a business that I started just gone five years ago, I had quite a significant career change, after the realization that I basically wasn't doing what I should have been doing. And a jewelry business was quite a small portion of my time and my income five years ago, and yeah, I made the call that it needed to be front, front and center of where I put my energy in and the change that I wanted to make in my own life and, and in the world. It just sound really dramatic. So I jumped off the corporate ship six weeks before my wedding. And

Emma Lovell 07: 55

Emma Lovell 07: we did a thing that the best time

07: 57

07: don't Yeah, exactly. But um, you know that? Like, would I have done a million things differently? Hell yet, but like, the bottom line is that I would never have done it if I didn't do it in the crazy ass way that I did it. So

Emma Lovell 08: 12

Emma Lovell 08: there's a way to just shake up your entire life. And I think there has to be an element of leaping. Otherwise there's that trudging along. And yeah, most people say, you know, this happens in a dramatic way or, or just in a very black and white kind of way. Like, one day I was doing this. The next day I was doing that. I just find it though. It's so courageous. Because I didn't leave a career, I started a business and I just don't work for anyone else. So it's a different path. But I just see it as so courageous. And I just think it's such it's so mind boggling when you've gone from this. Yeah. You know, it's industry to just feel like, you know, I'm sure it didn't come up overnight for you, but I'm gonna make jewelry. I'm gonna make a business out of it. And I'm gonna sell it and not like little not to diminish anyone but to not little like yeah, a little bit some that you'd sort of craft in your home and did I like she's like full blown, you know, workshop, like hammering stuff and like, you're like that, oh, what's that? Um, steampunk kind of I feel like that's the office literally like metals. And you know, like he did, like, it's like, it's full on Operation didn't just go just gonna make a few pairs of earrings and pop them online. No, like, full blown. I mean, that's just how I see it. But

09: 36

09: ya know, one of the one of the first things I did when I started the business was went to Bunnings and got myself a power pass because technically I was a trainee as I like them, because they're basically making juries is a trade unto itself. So

Emma Lovell 09: 57

Emma Lovell 09: it's a very, you know, and I've just got back from India and I thought, because I was in Jaipur, which is like kind of like the jewelry capital. And they these guys, these craftsmen that would have been handed down from generation to generation and old tools and the way that they take the gyms, the, you know, the gyms are not very beautiful rocks kind of thing when you get your weapons, they then polish them up and shake them in to be that the beautiful sparkly things that we love and you know, but also then just even then the band, you're like us just kind of it's just metal and metal isn't on its own that pretty. And then all of a sudden, they've got this, this piece and it was you know, it's incredible to see. And yeah, it's it's a craft, it is a real craft. And it's something that I know in India, they're really trying to focus on, on highlighting and bring back the individual makers. And so it's lovely. Recognize that individual maker because there are a lot of there are a lot of jewelry brands right. And there's big brands, and I don't know how they're all made, but like, you know, there's kind of that mass side of it. Yeah. To see when you said about that, that really struck me with how you said about your earrings that no two are the same. And even if there's imperfections with the not even imperfections, that's what they're meant to be but like yeah, that that your little bump is going to be different to my little bump. And it's nice. Yeah,

11: 30

11: yeah, no two stories and no two paths are the same. And your jewelry means to you what it means to you. Yeah,

Emma Lovell 11: 39

Emma Lovell 11: or why why on your site like some of them are quite different the paint like really quite different. There's always a there's a there's a style differently and there's like a you know, that's I can spot an Alex tymphany mile off and we are met through business chicks. And so there's a group of us and I can I can spot it a mile off who's wearing the piece. But I will talk about that the first time we met because we'll get We met through business chicks Business Club. I passed you and I spotted your earrings. And I asked you about them. And you were like, I'll tell you later I'll there's a story I'll tell you. And then you went away. And I was like, who is this mysterious woman? And I did get to find out the story which I'll let you share. But I was like it was this like, you know, and then I thought you were very cool. Might have told you this or that. You're very cool. But you may need to call I was like I don't know what you didn't like. Yeah, that's cool. Like she's great. She's jawline. It's amazing. Lovely. And then we got sat next to each other at dinner. I was like, okay, turns out we were then accountability buddies. And our darling Lacey almond. Got it right. She knows people and we hit it off. And then I've had you in my, my DMs. So my WhatsApps listening to me, was there for me for like three years, which is beautiful. So, God, it

13: 06

13: is three years, isn't it?

Emma Lovell 13: 07

Emma Lovell 13: Yeah, yeah. So I feel very grateful for you. But do tell us about those gold pineapples that stopped me in my tracks.

13: 16

13: So just obviously, just over five years ago, now I went on a leadership retreat to basically to the other side of the world. So if you stick a straight line through the globe, from Melbourne that you'll end up in the Caribbean in the British Virgin Islands. And it takes a long time to get there. So but I was just, I was at a point in my career where I was very happy. I thought I was very fulfilled. You know, on paper, I was ticking all the boxes that I wanted to take you know, I had a great full time corporate job in the wine industry. In brand management. I also was consulting in AFL I'm based in Victoria so obviously that's huge town here. And I also had a very small jewelry business so jewelry was a hobby of mine that I had done for you know, for 10 years at the time and um, and it had you know, it had just grown into its its own business selling off my body. Basically, where are your earring from? I want them okay, I'll make your pan 90 them for tonight. Fine, here they are. And so that's how that started. And suddenly I was making people's wedding bands and wedding rings and and, you know, that was just kind of motoring along. So my my time was spent, you know, a portion between those two things, those three things and went on this leadership retreat. And it was absolutely life changing. And more so from the people that I met there, not not so much the, you know, they're big names and people with fame behind them to for lots of different reasons, but it was the the other attendees who I really connected with, then, you know, the staff who worked on the island, and we spoke with domestic violence survivors one day, and that absolutely just rocked my world. It's not not a topic I knew much about and, you know, hearing how that how that was in, in some poor countries was just absolutely mind blowing, you know, I just left there going, you know, if, if these women are going to be so powerful and so resilient, and so brave and so optimistic. If I have a problem with my life in a relatively privileged position, there is no excuses. I can, I can do big things, and I can make the changes, I don't have to settle for, for anything. So I left that island feeling quite brave and was on the way home, I had like a 10 hour stopover in Dallas. And I was sitting in the airport lounge, drinking Chardonnay and at Wasabi peas. And I had this random dog running around my feet. And I was just, you know, kind of, you know, my mind was going a million miles an hour, and I just scribbled down a business plan on whatever piece of paper I could find. And the business just started coming to life. And the first product that I launched with was a pair of pineapple earrings. So the pineapples were a symbol of positivity and resilience and bravery to, you know, to bring whatever stories were relevant to the people who were wearing them, but then also at the same time to raise funds for these women who I'd met in the British Virgin Islands. So that, you know, that was the place where the business started. And yeah, the rest is history. So 40s But I've used down the track now and um, and yeah, it's been a wild wild ride. Oh,

Emma Lovell 17: 27

Emma Lovell 17: I love that. I love this so much purpose there and passion. And yes, I understood why then you wouldn't just tell me the story on the spot, because you then did stand up and tell your story and somebody won those fabulous Jenny cook. I think one of those earrings. I was like, I gotta get some. So I think a lot of us have those beautiful particles down because they mean so they that we've got the meaning there too. And that's beautiful. But yeah, you know, and then like I said, I just think like, in a way and it's particles are cute, but they've also got your edgy style. And then I feel like the hoops are very edgy. But then you came out with the your fabulous Nelson range, which was the iron and I'm a Leo and obviously that was like well, I was like, did you just do this? So I would like you did this to me, didn't you? You didn't know it's not all about me. The the you tell the story that was just fabulous. But there's just such a variety and then Stevie Nicks like, yeah, it just, there's always an edge to your stuff that I think that's the that's for me like that's the Alex timpani. There's the edginess and a rawness that's there. I lovely I want to open the doors to incredible opportunities for you on an all inclusive luxury retreat exclusively for people who are ready to live a life they love.

19: 48

19: Yeah, the the inspiration behind each collection comes from Yeah, as, as you say a real variety of places but how that comes to I think it's very much in a style that has has become a signature. And, you know, it's such a cliched story. But when I started making jewelry, I was making the jewelry that I wanted that I couldn't buy, which was, you know, elegant but a bit a little bit rebellious, you know, it's something can be raw and sophisticated at the same time, which, which wasn't something that I'd seen out there. And I used to spend a huge amount of money on jewelry and fashion, that's something that I've always been extremely passionate about, I started my career in fashion, it was very short lived at the time, but But yeah, I've now come full circle back to that with, you know, with sort of building that style and aesthetic that, that I've always wanted, and sends it that other people quite like to

Emma Lovell 20: 57

Emma Lovell 20: well, and that's the way you said that that ruins sophistication, because I do think that kind of is representative of you, too, like you very polished and you always look very put together and gorgeous. But, you know, like when I'm talking to you very real. And you know, there's a roughness and there's like, you know, there's a rawness and, yeah, so you know, there's, there is not that there's just two sides to us, right? And if there's and two things can coexist at the same time, it can be very elegant and poise, but also be like, chill and cool. And I guess I wouldn't I wouldn't make people preview to our private. This that's not for the podcast. There's been words, but I do think it's very elegant. I think it's like, but yeah, like that is this is real contrast in it that it's got this edginess coolness, but it's an art what I like about your jewelry as well that it's heavy, but not. So my earrings don't feel heavy on my ears. But you'll wear when I hold them. And when I like they are the quality like they're not flimsy, sort of like they I know that it's real jewelry. And it's like, I can really feel it. It's the MIT I for you. I think of metal like it's yeah, really the role. element. That is what it comes from, I can feel the weight to it. And I like that, that that's quality to me. There's you know, depths weight. And we had the very lovely fortune of yours. I have many, many Alex timpani stories and pieces, but my, my darling husband, bless his cotton socks, won't take it as a sign lost his wedding ring. And I do think that it was meant to be because then in the interim, I met you. And so you were the one who got to redesign his ring. And you did it the way that he wanted. Because he wanted originally and so think that ring was meant to go. Yes.

23: 07

23: Yeah. And yeah, no, it was a beautiful process working with you and him on that. And yeah,

Emma Lovell 23: 15

Emma Lovell 23: and you do that you've done a lot of signature pieces and sentimental pieces for people world and did Shelley's husband do the same thing last week?

23: 29

23: Yeah, there's was he with two mega rings, he's got amazingly beautiful big hands. And he's got his wedding ring. And then a ring that I think they got when they first got together. And, um, and I was able to recreate that one for them after it went missing. But we yeah, we evolved in a way that represented the, you know, the 10 years that they've been together and, and what their relationship means to them now. And that's

Emma Lovell 23: 59

Emma Lovell 23: something really special and it's like that, you know, I don't I guess I always had this thought. And it's something that I've learned over the past few years in terms of how I've elevated and leveled up and being around women like you and is that sometimes we have this like mindset of like, oh, getting a custom piece or getting designed pieces just like that's only for those people are like that's just like going to be a bazillion dollars. And like it's an investment, but it's not what you think it's going to be. And when you put it on paper, like when he put it down like to go to the shop and to get the ring. I mean, we pretty much had to do that anyway we just did in a shop as opposed to with, you know, a smaller business and a designer directly. When you put it like it was kind of swings and roundabouts and then we got this whole other lovely like personal side to it. And so I would just say to the audience, if you ever thought about getting a custom piece like it's not beyond the realm of possibility and it's just such a nice price. says and, you know, in to give a second life sometimes I've seen you give Second Life to people's peace.

25: 06

25: Yeah, it's actually something I do a lot of is, you know, usually heirloom stones that people have inherited, bringing them to life in a way that's relevant to them now still pays homage to the heritage and the history and the relationships that go before. But you know, it's something that someone wants to wear, because there is nothing worse than something of either monetary or sentimental value sitting in a draw. Um, I'm working with a diamond at the moment that has been in a drawer for 43 or 44 years. Yeah, I know. That's what I said. And, and I'm like, Yeah, all right, let's move forward. Let's, let's build this in a way that it's part of your life now and represents you and everything that you wanted to. Yeah, there's, there's no point. There's no point having that gathering dust, because it's doing nothing for anyone.

Emma Lovell 26: 09

Emma Lovell 26: And there's an energy to stones as well into gyms as well. And so, you know, like that, not getting that energy. Yeah, it's really, it's really interesting. I did actually sell some jewelry recently, because because of the energy element, and I was like, I don't want this reworked. I don't want it like I don't, I don't need that. And that can go on to someone else. And they can melted down and all that I just don't want. I don't want to do with that stuff. But there are things that I've held on to that I you know, and I just had a flash then I've thought because you went to Sri Lanka and had your lovely honeymoon there. And I have a retreat there this year. And so one of my reward I set for myself, as I hope you got to experience when you were there is they're beautiful gemstones. And they're very famous. India's well known for their gems. But Sri Lanka is like, yes, it's a thing and sapphires. And I do actually have a sale on sapphire that my dad got my mom, so I know that. But I would say on top of that it's a blue sapphire in the Sapphire. But people may not know this, actually rainbow like you can get sapphires in all different colors. And so I have decided I'm going to buy myself a Yellow Sapphire. Yes. What? Yeah, we'll have to make a plan for that. Oh,

27: 30

27: oh, that's really exciting. Yeah, I was debating between yellow and pink when I was there. And I tried on this pink stone. And I was sitting in a shop and I think Jeremy might have been playing Candy Crush, like in the corner with our driver. And I was sitting there staring at this stone and asked the guy how much it was. And I think he said 250 And I'm like, I don't think he means $250. And like 1000 He's like, Yeah, us I was like, oh shit. I was basically like wearing a mortgage on my finger.

Emma Lovell 28: 11

Emma Lovell 28: And you can't tell I can't tell like and, like, Yeah, it's interesting, like, you start to learn when you you know, we have a friend who is a genealogist Ruth but you know, it's, it's fascinating and again, there's an art and a craft in that and a beauty in it and there's a story in it and I just it's it's really nice to appreciate that and I've definitely through knowing you have got more of an appreciation and more of a quality over quantity as well. And that's something I've been looking at my stuff and like this is as you said just such a waste. Why is all this stuff sitting here either when it could be and I don't buy I actually don't buy a lot of jewelry for myself, I tend to get gifted I don't know if that's something for a lot of people I get other things. And so then it's just that reassessment of going is are these things that I want to carry forward in my life? Do they suit me? If they don't? Can they be reworked? Or is it something I just need to let go of and you know, maybe somebody else can enjoy?

29: 14

29: Yes Yeah.

Emma Lovell 29: 16

Emma Lovell 29: You know and then having those pieces because we tend to I know you change your jewelry yet but we just tend to wear we kind of have our every day. Most majority people who don't Yeah. Alex weighs about eight rings your air to multi 34560

29: 35

29: Yeah, there's a tonight well done, you

Emma Lovell 29: 40

Emma Lovell 29: know, the look one of the questions I love to ask people and you said about I just think you know, I see you so radiant in this business that you're doing. I didn't know you before, but I just can't imagine not doing that and I see the corporate helps. I see that your background helps in terms of how you approach business but it Got this business now you've got your little loves. What does living a life you love look like? Life a

30: 10

30: good life to me. So I'm now Well, I had to think about that for I'm now 41. So I think the meaning of what, you know, happiness and success looks like to me has has evolved, you know, my, my 20s I was living overseas, my 30s I came home and I was just going hard and fast in my career, and probably was doing all the things that I thought I should do. Rather than, you know, as you would say, living a life I loved. You know, I was earning good money, I had jobs, which were very glossy, and, you know, successful and interesting. And, you know, I bought a house and, you know, blah, blah, blah, ticking all those boxes. And I think part of my shift, you know, coming into my late 30s, when, when I started this business, which is at the same time that I got married was about more about creating a life that was always progressing. So that that's me is, is important, I've always had massive ambitions, which are sometimes not a very healthy thing to have. Because you also need the drive to get there and the impotence to want to make to make that stuff happen. But regardless of that, what that looks like, to me like progress is, is really important. So obviously, with my, my business, it's ensuring that creatively, it's progressing in a way that, you know, is, is breaking the rules and breaking the boundaries and pushing me to my limit and ensuring that I am bringing to people something that inspires their bravery and, you know, inspires them to appreciate themselves in their own story. You know, that's, that's the service that joy brings to people. You know, progress in my personal life is, you know, it's, it's my family, it's my relationships with my mom, my sister, and obviously, my girls and my husband, ensuring that my, my little people are growing up to be happy and safe and, and, you know, joyous little beings that they are so you know, that's, that's always progress, making things better, but progress, not at the expense of everything else, which for me, it used to be and that's just a totally crap. Wait a little I can tell you took me a long while to realize that, but yeah, with with a sense of joy and ease, because what's the point? If, if you're not happy if you're not joyous? There's there's no point. What's the point of being alive? Like, there isn't. We're not machines, we are humans with emotions and souls. And yeah, and easy is like, again, like, it shouldn't be hard. Like, it's not simple. But it's also, you know, it doesn't have to be that difficult.

Emma Lovell 33: 26

Emma Lovell 33: You'd have to work, but yeah, it should be hard work. Ya

33: 31

33: know, exactly. And don't overcomplicate it, because God, no overcomplicate everything like, Oh, my husband bought me a jumper a few years ago. That was a picture of a chick with their hands on their head saying, like an abstract picture, it wasn't that ugly, it said, on while I overthink this, and I was like, Oh, is that me? Yeah, yeah. No, I just don't overthink stuff. Because that's not joyous. And that's not a sense of ease. So

Emma Lovell 34: 03

Emma Lovell 34: well, your intuition is clearly leading you down a good path. And I've I just love seeing your creative process. And yeah, I talked about the design, the customs design, are you still going to be doing? Like, that's something that's still you're doing that?

Emma Lovell 34: Do it because if you were going to stop it, I'd be like, well, you're going to do it for me anyway. We have another big reward piece, which I'm so excited and I took some inspo piece pics while I was in India, because yeah, they do me Yeah, so I was currently Senate selling my investment property. And so I said, I wrote to Alex and I said, it's been on the cards for a little while, but I was like, oh, no, I want to attach it to this because I want to have a DCE a reward that really reflects that investment that I made. And that good decision that I made and it's, you've done some work with coins, which Mum, what a coin, Nicholas and I have all these coins for around the world. And so I'm going to get together some coins from some of my favorite or some of the most interesting coins and significant memories. And we're going to, I see it like a big kind of Grecian, Indian chokri chsp. I don't know. I don't know. I'm leaving that to Alex, but I'm getting ideas. And, you know, the reason I wanted that is because the coins obviously then reflect the travel that I've had coins reflect the money back and literally say, I've got coin, and it's a reminder today and I made a coin that I can I can make more coin and I can I can find more of that. And so it's going to be that lovely and it will not be an everyday necklace, but it will be something that I can I'll have to get like a stand or something for it. So I can
