This week let’s talk diamonds! Did you see the movie Blood Diamonds in 2006? The movie ended in a dramatic scene where world leaders gathered together to try to do better.

Did it work? What’s the latest with buying diamonds these days? Are there options that are better for the planet and our people?

Tune in this week to talk through the growing trend in buying lab-grown diamonds, certified diamonds, and recycled diamonds.
