(PRESS RELEASE) Lark & Berry, fresh off its Editor’s Choice design win at the 2019 JCK Las Vegas conference, has launched the first episode of its new podcast called “The Diamond Disruptor.”
Episodes of Lark & Berry’s new podcast will be a regularly released and ongoing series featuring luxury industry commentary and reporting. The podcast will have interviews with all walks of life from the luxury goods industry and beyond.
Lark & Berry’s podcast is free and can be found on all major music/audio streaming platforms. It can be downloaded directly at Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Player FM and SoundCloud.
“We want this podcast to be accessible to those who want to learn about the diamond market — with particular focus on where cultured diamonds (also known as lab grown) fit into everything,” said Clark Watts, broadcaster and content writer, who will host the “Diamond Disruptor” podcast.
“I’ve been working for Lark & Berry for just over a year, and I’m new to diamonds and the luxury industry. I’m still learning about luxury. And I’m still learning and investigating how sustainable interests, like cultured diamonds, are becoming increasingly important in the world of fine jewelry. This podcast is both for people who want to learn right along with me and for industry vets to keep tabs on what’s going on out there.”
The first episode of the “Diamond Disruptor” podcast features exploration of where cultured diamonds are in today’s luxury market and how new shopping-geared tech figures in. These themes are explored through a wrap-up of Lark & Berry’s experience exhibiting for the first time at JCK Las Vegas 2019, North America’s premiere jewelry expo, which featured over 30,000 brand exhibitors, buyers and analysts. The first episode features interviews with JCK Magazine editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky, diamonds industry marketing analyst Liz Chatelain (MVI Marketing) and a leading brand strategist from Altr created diamonds.
“Lark & Berry, since its inception just over a year ago, has always been just as much about spreading the word of sustainability with our promotion of cultured diamonds,” said Lark & Berry founder Laura Chavez.
“Our new podcast is meant to educate and inform on why cultured diamonds are such an important emerging, sustainable option in diamonds—just the same as mined diamonds in every way and at times even more superior in quality, not to mention the more environmentally responsible option.”
