Diamonds Part 2

Thank you for joining us for our second diamond episode of April! We hope you're excited for the continuation of our history episode. Last week we left off with diamond mining in Brazil, this time we pick back up with South Africa and DeBeers. We also address our modern conception of the engagement ring and answer the question 'does my engagement ring have to be a diamond?' We are also delighted to tease a special episode to be released at the end of the month. We have of course added some additional resources below, as well as our contact details and our Buy Me A Coffee link if you feel so inclined. Additionally, if you would like to explore the brilliant jeweller who made my engagement ring and who casted Cem's wedding band, we have included Cady's website in the links below. We hope you enjoy this second of four April episodes and are looking forward to our next episode when we go into science and value!Additional Resources:https://www.gia.edu/gia-news-research/historical-reading-diamond-fields-south-africa-1868-1893https://www.metmuseum.org/perspectives/indian-diamonds-benjamin-zucker-family-collectionhttps://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/make-the-million-dollar-leap-with-a-20-carat-diamond-ringhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-32131829https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mOv-hNF_uCohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JLJOyzAW3oohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a1REfTIc5pohttps://www.americangemsociety.org/buying-diamonds-with-confidence/the-history-of-the-diamond-as-an-engagement-ring/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27371208https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPreyczEjb_/?igsh=MTMxYzJudzU2MXR0Zg==https://www.metmuseum.org/perspectives/indian-diamonds-benjamin-zucker-family-collectionhttps://www.hearthandbellows.com/If you have any questions or would like to comment on an episode, you can reach us on Instagram @loupedpodcast or by email at [email protected] if you'd like to buy us a coffee, you can do so here! buymeacoffee.com/loupedpodcast
