In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Gottlieb to talk about her journey into the jewelry world, how she worked her way up from the Diamond District in Manhattan to setting out on her own, and how her business took off unexpectedly and grew into the luxury fine jewelry brand it is today. Stephanie shares how she has witnessed women find value in themselves through their investments in jewelry, how someone can explore what they want in a ring before an engagement occurs, and what the “4 C's” mean for picking out a diamond. She also talks about how people can save some money on rings, how you can redesign an existing engagement ring, and what the staple jewelry pieces might be throughout someone's life. Finally, she unpacks making the iconic “87” necklace for Taylor Swift, how that moment has had an impact on her business, and she shares her thoughts on Selena Gomez's and Zendaya's engagement rings.Key Takeaway / Points:How Stephanie got started in the jewelry worldStephanie's experience in the Diamond District in ManhattanHow her business took off How someone can explore what they want ring-wise pre-engagementThe 4 C's for picking out a diamondOn the timeless engagement ring styles that will never go out of fashionWhere people can potentially save some money on ringsVarious ways you can redesign an engagement ringOn staple jewelry pieces throughout someone's lifeOn entering celebrity jewelry territory On the impact of the Taylor Swift #87 necklaceStephanie's take on Selena Gomez's and Zendaya's ringsThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Growing up in a remote corner of the world's largest rainforest, Pio, Maria, and Oita learned to hunt wild pigs and tapirs, and gathered Brazil nuts and açaí berries from centuries-old trees. The first highway pierced through in 1960. Ranchers, loggers, and prospectors invaded, and the kids lost their families to terrible new weapons and diseases. Pushed by the government to assimilate, they struggled to figure out their new, capitalist reality, discovering its wonders—cars, refrigerators, TV sets, phones—as well as a way to acquire them: by selling the natural riches of their own forest home. They had to partner with the white men who'd hunted them, but their wealth grew legendary, the envy of the nation—until decades of suppressed trauma erupted into a massacre, bloody retribution that made headlines across the globe. Based on six years of immersive reporting and research, When We Sold God's Eye: Diamonds, Murder, and a Clash of Worlds in the Amazon (Grand Central Publishing, 2024) tells a unique kind of adventure story, one that begins with a river journey by Theodore Roosevelt and ends with smugglers from New York City's Diamond District. It's a story of survival against all odds; of the temptations of wealth and the dream of prosperity; of an ecosystem threatened by our hunger for resources; of genocide and revenge. It's a tragedy as old as the first European encounters with Indigenous people, playing out in the present day. But most of all, it's the moving saga of a few audacious individuals—Pio, Maria, Oita, and their friends—and their attempts to adapt and even thrive in the most unlikely circumstances.

The 2025 BizSense Crystal Ball; A new mayor and city council; Plans for City Center and the Diamond District; and a lot of Dominion land up for grabs.

Jodi, Bridget, and Philip convene prior to Thanksgiving to sneak in a quick episode about a holiday classic (Passover, in this case)--2019's 'Uncut Gems,' directed by brothers Josh and Benny Safdie. Adam Sandler plays Howard Ratner, a jewelry dealer in Manhattan's Diamond District. He and his associates, Demany and Julia (LaKeith Stanfield and Julia Fox), work together to attract a high-profile clientele. Kevin Garnett stars as himself as an interested buyer of a mysterious black opal recently obtained by Howard. Set during the 2012 NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals, 'Uncut Gems' imagines an outcome to the series perhaps influenced by Garnett's connection to the opal, as he feels drawn to it. Howard first needs Garnett to win the opal in an auction where he hopes to gain a large enough profit to pay off a gambling debt. When this plan falters due to the opal's poor valuation, Howard sneakily uses the reduced earnings to place a bet on Garnett, now in possession of the opal, hoping KG will score big in game 7. This Rube Goldberg mousetrap of a film sees Howard go from a failed family man pleading with his wife (Idina Menzel), to uptown playboy renting helicopters, to cornered con fending off loan sharks.
