The diamond jewelry industry is seeing a transformative shift, with lab-grown diamonds taking center stage. Traditionally concentrated in the bridal sector, fine diamond jewelry has remained out of reach for many, with only 1% of consumers able to afford it. Lab-grown diamonds now offer a compelling alternative, valued for their accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and commitment to sustainable practices. In the next 5 to 10 years, we anticipate a shift in consumer preferences, with more individuals opting for lab-grown diamonds, especially for unique, customized pieces. This trend could redefine luxury, making it more accessible and sparking fresh design innovation. As we look to the future, it’s clear that lab-grown diamonds are here to stay. What are your thoughts on the future of diamond jewelry? Achal Mehta | Arnav Mehta #LabGrownDiamonds #JewelryTrends #SustainableLuxury

Does the way we ask questions impact the way people respond? This is really important as we move toward ever increasing expectations of transparency in business and a traditionally secretive jewelry industry. If you're trying to get to a meaningful dialogue with your vendors, to learn more about their sourcing practices, start by becoming curious and interested in what their values are and what they are striving for to find common ground with you. CMC's March 2021 Living Room is a "how to session" on meaningful conversations. You could benefit from the practice of generative questions and positive framing, explained by our guest Cheri Torres. Think of it as a way to nurture a business connection, generating rapport and discovering commonalities that can lead to a long-term partnership.

Our jewelry industry would be wise to fully leave behind the terminology "Recycled"- especially for gold. Based on closely working on these issues during the FTC green guides process and observing the arguments that the plastics industry is making we should distance ourselves from "recycling" as a concept (and also maybe influenced by the comments of Jewelers Vigilance Committee). I think that the entire idea of Recycling will shortly be denigrated and the history of the plastics and oil industries in the problematic past and present of recycling practices will become prominent in the consumer's mind. We would be wise to get ahead of this developing situation and frame our products differently. Excellent reporting by ProPublica demonstrates an aspect of this. Instead, we should do as Signet Jewelers has done and leave recycled gold behind thanks to the great work Colleen J. Rooney MATTHEW SWIBEL and of course Gina Drosos. A great alternative terminology is "Responsible" (if it actually applies to the sourcing protocols) although other strong frameworks exist too for us to choose from. Our precious products were never meant for the trash heap, and thus are not diverted from it (the definition of Recycled). We should honor our wonderful products and our potential and unique impact in the larger sustainability conversation. #recycling #recycledgold #businessoffashion #luxury #sustainablejewelry #greenguides
