Disclaimer below. We visited New York City’s Diamond District for a behind-the-scenes peek at how the industry really works, featuring interviews with TraxNYC, Mike Nekta, House of Diamonds, Vookum, Benny the Jeweler, and more. We get into the fascinating history of the Diamond District, including why there’s such a strong Orthodox Jewish presence on the street, and also investigate how lab-grown diamonds have upended the diamond market and learn what the longtime jewelers think about them.
