Synthetics, Diamond Desire and the Market Recovery
The Diamond Dudes by Rob Bates, Edahn Golan, Avi Krawitz
Episode notes
Live from the CIBJO Congress in Vicenza, The Diamond Dudes, Avi Krawitz, Rob Bates and Edahn Golan, were joined by industry leaders to discuss the natural diamond market’s tentative stabilization, the divide between stronger high-end demand and weakness at lower price points, and the need for a more demand-led recovery. The conversation also explored CIBJO’s synthetic-diamond nomenclature debate, the importance of clearer consumer communication, and how the industry can build desire through cultural relevance, digital engagement and a more compelling luxury retail experience.
