- Technology
On this episode and due to popular demand I dive further into the world of these precious stones. I'll explain further the concept and rise of conflict diamonds (or blood diamonds) and how they have been defined, talk to you about the Kimberley process and it's shortcomings. We will then focus on how Silicon Valley is disrupting yet another traditional market (such as it did with the taxi industry and Uber/Lyft and the hotel industry with Airbnb). I'll take the time to explain the benefits of lab grown diamonds in contrast with the negative side of the mining industry. Finally i'll share my experience specifically with Vrai & Oro - one of the innovators in this space.
