When Olivia Landau started her educational diamond blog in 2016, she had no idea it would transform into the multimillion-dollar brand it is today. The Clear Cut brand, in its current state, officially launched in 2018 and specializes in creating custom rings for clients.  "It was through working with [my co-founder and husband Kyle Simon's] friends when creating their custom rings that I realized most people don't know the first thing about buying a diamond," Landau said on the latest episode of The Glossy Podcast. "[Kyle and I] quickly realized there must be a whitespace in the market, if strangers [in the market for a ring] were trusting me with their life savings. ... That's when we decided to commit full time to making this happen." Though Landua, a fourth-generation jeweler, initially did not anticipate working in the industry, her vast knowledge of diamonds and gemstones has fueled her company's growth. According to Landua, since The Clear Cut's launch, it's doubled its revenue every year. Building off that momentum, the company built a cutting-edge proprietary software system in 2020, allowing it to elevate the customer experience by matching clients with gemologists, while simultaneously scaling backend manufacturing and distribution.  As The Clear Cut continues to capitalize on the wedding boom, Landau and her team are focused on simplifying and further customizing the diamond shopping experience, while continuing to educate customers. 

Olivia Landau, a fourth-generation diamond expert, began The Clear Cut as a blog. An educational resource. But it wasn't long before she and her Co-Founder husband Kyle Simon realized the blog's potential to become much more. Now as Founder and CEO of The Clear Cut, Olivia leads a multi-million dollar, direct-to-consumer, diamond jewelry company that is revolutionizing the way consumers purchase engagement rings and so much more. We hear all about how she met her Co-Founder and husband Kyle as well as the company's unique approach to selling diamonds through social platforms including Instagram and TikTok. And finally, Olivia lets us all in on her entrepreneurial journey, lessons she has learned along the way and what she thinks it takes to start and build a successful company like The Clear Cut.

Learn the critical differences between lab-grown and natural diamonds, uncover the ethical and environmental misconceptions around lab-grown options, and understand how transparency builds trust in a market rife with fraud.Fraud in the Diamond Industry: Olivia highlights the prevalence of fraud, particularly with lab-grown diamonds being misrepresented as natural. This deceptive practice misleads consumers into trading valuable natural diamonds for larger but worthless lab-grown ones, underscoring the importance of working with trustworthy jewelers.Lab-Grown vs. Natural Diamonds: While chemically similar, lab-grown diamonds are mass-manufactured and lack the rarity and value of natural diamonds. Olivia explains how lab-grown diamonds, often promoted as ethical and sustainable, actually involve significant environmental costs, such as high greenhouse gas emissions.Economic and Ethical Value of Natural Diamonds: Natural diamonds are finite resources that provide long-term value and support local economies. Olivia shares how diamond mining has transformed countries like Botswana, funding education, healthcare, and infrastructure, debunking misconceptions tied to outdated narratives like "blood diamonds."➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com  YouTube: https://youtu.be/aT1fdLz7zo8 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/olivia-landau-founder-and-ceo-of-the-clear/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/54yfYtYN251yZMEe0YcgQl?si=99e5349b581d4654 ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
