    Jan 28 2026
    JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates interview Bruce Bridges, president and CEO of Bridges Tsavorite and president of AGTA. Their deep, sprawling conversation covers Bruce’s upbringing in Kenya, his family’s deep ties to mining in Africa, and the complex, devastating story of his father Campbell Bridges’ murder. Beyond the details of what happened that day and Bruce’s long, arduous fight for justice, he also shares his father’s legacy: the gems Campbell is famous for discovering and naming as well as his dream of creating an elephant sanctuary on the family’s mining claims. Bruce shares his insights into the current state of the tariffs and his perspective on how they are affecting the gem shows in Tucson. Finally, he teases some of the special gems he’ll be showcasing there. Title Sponsor: De Beers (adiamondisforever.com) Sponsor: Facets of Fire (facetsoffire.com/centurion)
