Episode #155: “The Diamond Backstage Pass”

The diamond industry has officially gone off-script—and we’ve got front-row seats just for you to the escalating chaos.

Lab-grown diamonds? They’re now more than half of all engagement rings (it’s a lot more, but the industry does not want you to know)—and the number’s climbing like it’s got a jetpack.
Mined diamond prices? Dropping faster than a rookie dealer’s poker face.
And the big players? Still pretending nothing’s happening.

In this episode, Colin David Ferguson—The Global Diamond Broker himself—pulls back the iron curtain on what your jeweler really doesn’t want you to know:
💎 The secret power shift as lab-grown dominates the market
💎 Why GIA’s playing stubborn while IGI eats their lunch
💎 How AI is quietly replacing middlemen, cutting costs, and keeping clients safer than ever
💎 The truth about diamond “value”—and why beauty is the only return that matters
💎 Why the RareRock name is rewriting luxury from the inside out

Plus: a few true backstage stories from decades in the trade—deals in hotel suites, hand deliveries across the globe, and the moments where diamonds change hands, lives, and sometimes, history.

💡 The game’s changed. The audience just hasn’t caught on yet.
