That chart went viral this week. Nearly 3 million people saw it.
Diamond prices have crashed to their lowest level this century.
Now, I hate to be the one to bring this up. Especially if you or someone you love recently spent a few monthsā salary on a ring. Iāve been there myself, and I remember what that felt like walking out of the store.
But thereās something happening in the diamond market right now that I think you need to know about. And after digging into it this week, Iām convinced it has implications far beyond jewelry.
So, pour yourself a big cup of coffee and settle into your favorite seat for a look at the diamond industryās stunning collapse with this Sundayās Informationist.
