Sustainable Supply Chain Fixing The Diamond Supply Chain - A Chat With HB Antwerp's Shai De Toledo
The diamond trade has always been a murky one with lots of talk of Blood Diamonds. This has meant the diamond supply chain is mired in suspicion about the origin of the stones that go into making the jewelry we wear.
One company seeking to change that is HB Antwerp. They've developed a unique direct, community-based, blockchain-backed sourcing strategy, and are bringing the ability to design your own diamond to market.
To learn more I invited HB Antwerp Co-Founds and Managing Partner Shai de Toledo to come on the podcast to tell me more.
We had a fascinating conversation talking about all the flaws in the current diamond industry, how HB Antwerp addresses those, and its plans for a direct to consumer service.
I learned loads, I hope you do too...
