That, and hopefully retain your attention while a few carefully tailored advertisements may be absorbed as well. Within this daily communication process, it’s easy for positive news to slip by, go unnoticed, or be classified as “fake news.” There is no such thing as the “Good News Channel” or a publication that only promotes positive findings. If any news network or publication solely promoted positivity, that operation would be sadly short lived. Ask anyone how the rupee has taken a nose dive when compared the U.S. dollar, or the complications India maintains over natural and LGD exports. But turn the page to a recent Morgan Stanley report and you’ll see India “will become Asia’s #1 economy by 2023.” Or, you could simply turn the pages of this magazine and you’ll soon get to our “Carbon” feature story. With a theme of connectivity creating capital in the LGD world, Dan Scott shares how India’s largest bank has a new laser focus only for LGDs and for the producers of such. Revealing the positive LGD lending news you may have missed, also opens certain facts that help personalize that news to a much more ‘news you can use’ style of delivery. In this month’s feature, we learn why money is pouring into certain sections of India, specific to LGDs, and how the natural diamond industry may benefit from such investments. By now, you’ve heard about LVMH’s investment in Israel’s LUSIX “Sun-Grown Diamond” brand. Yet, do you know why a pinnacle in global luxury investment placed millions in a new, LGD company that was already financially fit? How high are the stakes for any luxury property under the LVMH umbrella to publicly embrace LGDs? How high would the benefits be for the introduction of the “Dior Diamond?” While Christian Dior has stood strong with the likes of Givenchy and Tiffany, all rejecting any form of manufactured diamond jewelry line, it’s important to note all three of those powerhouse fashion brands are owned by LVMH. Will the “Dior Diamond” ever launch? If there was ever a connection of iconic fashion design and LGDs, this would be the time. Headlines haven’t leaned on any LVMH property to entertain LGDs. LVMH and LUSIX may just start a new consumer LGD brand, or lay low in a business-to-business LGD rough sector. Allow this month’s story to help guide you to your own conclusion. Until then, we’ll help expose what’s hidden between the lines. For it is there that some of the most thought-provoking industry innuendos await.
