Today, on The Forward Minds podcast, we spoke to the co-founders of Kimai - a Belgium-based jewellery brand that focuses on lab-grown diamonds. Sidney Neuhaus and Jessica Warch grew up together in Antwerp, also known as the diamond capital of the world, before relocating to London. It was here where they solidified their passion for sustainably-sourced jewellery and launched the lab-grown diamond brand, Kimai. Neuhaus and Warch joined us to discuss the impact of mining and how lab-grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical, and without the negative social and environmental impact. Kimai was launched in 2018 and has successfully cut out the mines and middlemen for a more transparent and sustainable process from design to delivery. Our show notes are packed with links and extra information.

Mel Moss, a Canadian diamond wholesaler with over four decades of experience, joins the show to share his thoughts on an array of relevant and timely topics impacting the diamond industry today. The conversation starts with Mel recounting his memory of when Canadian diamonds first hit the market in the 1990's. The two then discuss the concept of “diamonds with an origin” and what that means (or doesn't mean) for diamond prices. The conversation then moves to the current state of diamond industry fundamentals, expectations for the rest of 2021 and the notion of preserving the “luxury” that is diamonds.
