About this listen

Diamonds are more than just sparkling stones—they carry a legacy of rarity, power, and prestige. 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. From the Hope Diamond’s curse to elite Type 2A diamonds, they explore the history, craftsmanship, and emotion that make diamonds timeless.

Key Takeaways:

  • Type 2A diamonds represent the rarest and purest form of carbon, making up less than 2% of all diamonds mined.
  • The Hope Diamond Curse is one of the most infamous legends surrounding diamonds.
  • 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.
