Guest: Danielle Keller

In this 82nd episode of the Paul Zimnisky Diamond Analytics Podcast, jewelry designer and sustainability consultant Danielle Keller Aviram joins the show from Berlin, Germany. The episode begins with Paul airing frustrations with the direction that the ESG movement has seemingly meandered. Danielle then shares her firsthand opinion on the state of sustainability as it pertains to the jewelry industry supply chain. The two then discuss how much consumers really care about sustainability and if consumer pressure or government regulation is a stronger force for change. They then opine on how the diamond industry in particular could benefit from being completely honest about the rate of progress towards sourcing transparency. Finally, Danielle shares her view on lab-grown diamonds, what she would do if she was in charge of the natural diamond industry and career paths that aspiring jewelry designers should consider.                                                                                                                     Hosted by: Paul Zimnisky Guest: Danielle Keller Aviram Guest plug: www.daniellekeller.net More information on PZDA's State of the Diamond Market report: www.paulzimnisky.com/products   Show contact: [email protected] or visit www.paulzimnisky.com.   Please note that the contents of this podcast includes anecdotes, observations and opinions.
