A Diamond in the Rough – Episode #154
"They Tried to Shut Me Up. Here’s Why I Won’t Be Silenced."
This week, Colin David Ferguson—The Global Diamond Broker—is fired up and laying it all out. The industry's in chaos. Retailers are panicking. Lab diamonds are rising. And De Beers? They’re doing exactly what Colin predicted... again.
From the collapse of white diamond pricing to Instagram shadow bans and price comparisons that shook the industry, Colin shares the hard truth they really don’t want you to hear. This is the episode retailers hope you miss.
In this episode:
💎 Why over 50% of engagement rings are now lab-grown
💎 De Beers is dumping rough diamonds—and Colin called it
💎 Why the Sherlock Holmes diamond testers don’t work (and never did)
💎 The truth about Instagram censorship and why the Global Diamond Broker’s reach got throttled
💎 Why lab-grown is the new luxury and LVMH knows it
💎 How to tell if your mine diamond is really a mine diamond (spoiler: you can’t)
💎 The rise of RareRock and what it means for the future of luxury diamonds
💎 And why owning the world’s most beautiful diamond is now more affordable than ever
If you're still shopping at Brilliant Earth, James Allen, or Blue Nile—you’re paying for their ad budgets, not for beauty.
This isn't a podcast episode—it's a wake-up call.
🔥 Bonus: Sign up for The RareRock Report at RareRock.com — where one subscriber will win an Argyle pink diamond.
