In this episode of Legacy of Luxury, Nick Constantino and Jaron Solomon uncover the legendary stories behind the world’s most famous diamonds, the intricate trade routes of uncut stones, and the science behind what makes diamonds truly special.

  • Diamonds pass through multiple countries before reaching jewelers, making tariffs and trade routes critical to pricing.
  • Craftsmanship matters—perfect sparkle requires expert diamond cutting, not just size.
  • Solomon Brothers uses a painstaking selection process, ensuring only elite-quality stones reach customers.
