Buy Like a Guy ·

2023/02/23

In Episode 13 I discussed how “Cut is King” when it comes to diamonds, and how a better cut can make a diamond look brighter, bolder, bigger, and more beautiful.

In this episode, we're going to talk about how the cutting process is the human element that transforms these "rough" diamonds into sparkling

Jewelry is most often thought of as a luxury item, but I think people look at it the wrong way. I’m gonna get pretty deep in this episode, but I need to, because I think it’s the best investment you’ll ever make, and I also think jewelry is a necessity. There are moments in our lives that stand out as EPIC. There are times, places and people that hold strong meaning for us, and it's normal to want to communicate that to them. So how do we do it?
