@Andyy3557033271 Absolutely

@edahn I think lab-grown diamonds changed the entry point into the market, but natural diamonds still dominate emotionally when people think legacy, rarity and permanence

Are lab-grown diamonds really threatening natural diamonds — or changing the industry in a completely different way? 💎 The Diamond Dudes debate pricing, branding, retail realities, and what comes next in Episode 2. #Diamonds #LGD #JewelryIndustry

A textual recap here 👇🏼 edahngolan.com/jewelry-market…

The LGD sector is increasingly behaving less like a jewelry category and more like a technology play, with jewelry acting as a cash-flow engine. The Diamond Dudes explore the structural tension shaping LGDs: pricing pressure, production economics, and the growing identity gap between tech ambition and jewelry reality. And how does LGD positing impact Pandora's ability to raise prices? For those that prefer a written recap to listening/viewing, see link in first comment. #DiamondAnalytics #JewelryRetail #DiamondDudesPodcast

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.

April Sales Rise On 21% Record Leap in Spending tenoris.bi/april-sales-ri…

US jewelry consumers are spending more but buying differently. April average spending per item jumped a record 21% as higher-priced jewelry outperformed again. Meanwhile, loose diamonds are losing ground. Link in 1st comment: #DiamondMarket #JewelryIndustry #RetailTrends

From pricing shifts to changing demand, the diamond market from mining to consumer demand is in transition. Here’s a recap of my presentation at the Antwerp Diamond Exchange last week. Link in the first comment. 💍💎🇧🇪

Interesting

@dor Yes, come over, tell them you're my guest. Seriously, just march in.

@edahn I only see it now and the event is fully booked. Anything can be done?

A reminder: I’ll be in Antwerp tomorrow, presenting the latest market insights. If you’re around and follow the diamond market, it's worth a stop.
