Date: August 3rd, 2025 2:30 PM Author: Talented plaza circlehead De Beers mined 10.2 million carats of diamonds in the first half of 2025, a 23 percent drop from 13.3 million in the prior-year period that reflects the company’s deliberate pullback on mining in light of the decline in demand.
Production fell 26 percent in De Beers’ top-producing country, Botswana, while production was down 43 percent in Canada. |

Thanks, McKinsey. Hope one of the hot-girl HBS grads in between maternity leaves got to write that one. |

They make 10% of their revenue from warranty sales. The other 90% (over $6B annually) comes from new jewelry sale. They are not like Best Buy, which makes 50% of its profit from warranties dumbasses buy. (Margins on ready to wear jewelry are way higher than on consumer electronics, and fewer people buy warranties since they also may have insurance and jewelry can be repaired by indecent shops too (unlike a Vizio tv or Sony receiver).

Date: August 3rd, 2025 8:31 PM Author: Electric federal garrison filthpig Lab grown diamonds are taking big market share from UMC types. Upper class is still buying diamonds, and there is renewed interest in the vintage market due to craftsmanship and more nouveau riche trying to look old money. At least in NYC and its suburbs.

Date: August 9th, 2025 3:58 PM Author: Indigo home queen of the night Everyone who's buying diamonds at all is buying LGDs, which are superior in every way applying the objective grading criteria that have been used to measure diamond quality for literally centuries.
I've been sticking to precious metals and pearls for my wife for a decade now. The diamond tennis bracelets and whatnot that my dad used to buy my mom every year growing up have been barely holding their value, even according to the insurance-sponsored auto-appraisals that have every incentive to apply a flat annual increase. |

Date: August 3rd, 2025 8:54 PM Author: chestnut half-breed affirmative action I could be wrong because i'm not really in true upper class circles, but in UMC circles, diamonds aren't really a status symbol anymore.
Women care about how many carats there engagement rings are.
Other than that, I don't think women now care about another womans diamond earings or whatever. It seems way below handbags, shoes, even athleisure like Lululemon is more of a status symbol than dimaonds.
I don't even see it in movies anymore where the guy wows the girl with a diamond bracelet. Now the guy in a movie would surprise her with 2 first class tickets to Thailand. |
