This week on the 10forty Podcast, we're joined by Fran Massey, better known as Fran the Jeweller from The Cut Price Jewellers.In this episode, Fran takes us on a journey through his life and career—from collecting scrap metal as a kid, to studying subjects he wasn’t too fond of in school, to getting his first break in the jewellery trade. We hear about his early days selling antiques in the Iveagh Markets, the tight-knit Liberties community, and how those formative years shaped the businessman he is today.Fran opens up about the critical role his family has played in the success of his business. While many shy away from employing family, Fran believes it’s the "secret sauce" behind The Cut Price Jewellers’ enduring success. We talk about his decision to go out on his own, the backing he got from his parents, and the mentors who’ve guided him along the way—both in jewellery and other ventures.We also dive into practical advice for anyone thinking about buying an engagement ring, the realities of the luxury watch trade, and the growing conversation around lab-grown versus natural diamonds.It’s an honest, insightful, and inspiring conversation with one of Dublin’s most recognisable names in jewellery.Find out more here https://thecutpricejewellers.com/Follow Fran - https://www.instagram.com/fran.thejeweller?igsh=MWI1dTd3anZtYW8wbg==The Cut Price Jewellers - https://www.instagram.com/thecutpricejewellers?igsh=emdqa2JkdzloM2Z6This episode is brought to you by Top Drawer Talent — the Supply Chain & Procurement Specialists.
