These headlines are utterly misleading. They are a public and social relations strategic move from the mining community to do everything possible to downplay LGDs - now more than ever. This, while Kendra Scott just announced she’s now working in LGDs, and major research groups have just released very positive news touting the continued success of LGDs, and showing a growth projectory that opposes the online click bate and certain printed editorial trying to convince you otherwise. In this issue, we’ll prove these negative LGD headlines to be empty. Current facts supported by respected independent study groups, including the U.S. National Retail Federation, along with candid discussions with the front lines of LGD North American jewelry retailers result in one thing: Simple LGD truths are taking from natural diamond market share daily. Dan Scott’s four-part series “Secrets to Laboratory-grown Diamond Success” has not been written to fight with mining operations. It has been created to help retailers sell with integrity, honesty and educated information. Just as we support natural diamonds exclusively in our sister publication Diamond Pulse, we will always be unbiased in our diamond magazines, and present the facts with suggestions to accelerate the uniting of a diamond duo. Part one of our “success series,” is a wake up call for some and an added sales motivator for others. Here’s your chance to tell your story. If you’re a North American retailer selling LGDs and you’d like to be interviewed for this editorial series, reach out to Dan Scott at dannjscott@gmail.com to set-up your time to shine.
