  • How Jewelry Stores Get Diamonds | CarterCast Ep16 – The Journey from Soil to Showcase
    Jul 22 2024

    We’ve done lots of shows about diamonds, covering almost every facet (heh) of them from the 4Cs to buying them online to lab growns, but we haven’t talked much about how we get our diamonds. How does your local jeweler acquire the diamonds that you see in the case? What’s that process, start to finish? How might international conflicts such as wars, tariffs, and geopolitics have an impact? And what’s it like going to Antwerp surrounded by armed guards and seeing briefcases handcuffed to people’s wrists? How do you know who to trust in this wild, crazy world? They say it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey, and that’s what we’re exploring today: the journey of a diamond from the soil to the showroom. It’s the CarterCast, the pre-proposal show for dating couples designed to make engagement ring shopping easy, understandable, and fun. Filmed on location at JoshuaOneNine in Downtown Bloomington, IL.

  • More Talk About Lab Grown Diamonds | CarterCast Ep15 – Revisiting LGD’s in 2024
    Feb 19 2024

    Today, we're revisiting a topic from a previous show, because a sequel is always better than the original. Wait, right? It’s been about 2.5 years since we last talked about…*gasp*… lab grown diamonds. Given the ever-changing landscape of that controversial, salacious, contentious, quarrelsome topic, we decided to check back in and see how things are going in the land of LGD’s. We bring out charts, and we play clips of Carter’s predictions from the previous episode right to his face, forcing him to respond. Was he right? Was he wrong? It’s Lab Grown Diamonds 2. Too Vast, Too Spurious. Let’s charge headfirst into controversy, on the pre-proposal show for dating couples designed to make engagement ring shopping easy, understandable, and fun. This is the CarterCast, filmed on location at JoshuaOneNine in Downtown Bloomington, IL.
