Three veteran analysts unite to deliver sharp, monthly commentary on the issues shaping the diamond business
The Diamond Dudes, a monthly podcast featuring three of the sector’s most respected analysts, plans to release its first episode on Thursday, April 16, 2026, offering listeners timely insights, candid discussion, and expert perspective on the industry’s most pressing topics.
The podcast brings together Avi Krawitz (formerly of Rapaport, now with TheDiamondPress.com), Rob Bates (former news director of JCK, who just started TheJewelryWire.com), and Edahn Golan (diamond industry analyst and researcher now leading data supplier Tenoris).
Collectively, the trio boasts more than 75 years of experience covering, analyzing, and shaping discourse around the diamond trade.
With the tagline “Three industry experts. A thousand opinions,” The Diamond Dudes will dive into major developments, market trends, and controversies impacting the global diamond pipeline—from mining and manufacturing to retail and consumer behavior.
“We’ve each spent decades reporting on and analyzing this business, and we’re watching it go through one of its worst crises ever,” said the three in a joint statement.
“We hope each episode will provide key insights on where the trade goes from here.”
