The 2nd episode of the Diamond Dudes is out!

Link in first comment below.

In this episode, Rob Bates, Avi Krawitz, and myself dive into the forces reshaping today’s diamond industry. From the rapid rise of lab-grown diamonds to shifting pricing structures, branding battles, and evolving consumer demand, the conversation explores where the market stands now and where it may be heading next.

The discussion covers how technology is changing the trade, the pressures driving industry consolidation, and the strategies companies are using to position natural and synthetic diamonds in an increasingly competitive market.

Somehow, @robbates managed to convince @AviKrawitz and me to start a podcast.

We’ll be discussing what’s actually happening in the diamond market: data, trends, and the gaps between headlines and reality.

More than once people have suggested I do a podcast with @robbates and @edahn. So when Rob suggested we do so, now that we're all independent it was a no-brainer. Introducing The Diamond Dudes - Three Experts, A Thousand Opinions! https://t.co/QHaQdpQySk

US retailers lab-grown diamond inventory is high and growing faster than sales. This is a classic sign of structural imbalance.
