Back to the Rough: Sourcing Diamonds From De Beers to India's High-Tech Cutting Factories
After a long break, Nick Constantino and Jaron Solomon are back with a big update from Solomon Brothers. Business is up across the board, new customers keep walking through the door, and the company is doubling down on the thing that built it in the first place: being involved in every step of a diamond's journey. Jaron explains how his late father traveled to Angola, South Africa, and Antwerp to buy rough diamonds by hand, and why cutting out the extra wholesalers still matters for both quality and price today.
Jaron also opens up about one of the hardest calls of his career, bringing lab-grown diamonds into a business built on the natural trade. He shares how he leaned on his father's belief that "if someone's going to come in and ask for it, we should have it," and how that choice, along with vertical integration, has helped the company handle rising gold prices without pricing customers out.
The heart of the episode is Jaron's recent trip through Europe, Africa, and India to partner with De Beers sightholders and rebuild the company's rough diamond pipeline. He describes how India became the center of the diamond cutting world, what it's like inside factories that feel more like Google than a workshop, and the laser and high-pressure water cutting technology that left him on his hands and knees for a closer look. The conversation wraps with quick takes on conflict-free diamonds, the future of diamond manufacturing, and Nick's challenge to the jewelry industry to invest in infrastructure instead of billboards.

Why This Diehard Dawg Fears Georgia Tech: Justice Haynes Comes Home
Jaron Solomon is a diehard Georgia fan - and after spending an afternoon with Justice Haynes, he's officially worried. The former Alabama and Michigan running back is back home in Atlanta, suiting up for Georgia Tech in his final year of eligibility, and he joins Nick and Jaron at Solomon Brothers for an exclusive interview. Justice opens up about playing under Nick Saban and falling in love with the process, breaking his foot mid-game and playing through it anyway, the round-the-clock rehab that got him back, and why Coach Key convinced him to come chase a championship in the city where he was born and raised. He even sits down at the jeweler's bench to design a custom piece that captures his faith (with just enough flash). He's humble, he's hungry, and that's exactly what should scare Athens.
Before the interview, Nick and Jaron dig into why Tech landing a player like Justice is part of a bigger story: college football's economics have changed, and the programs that win will invest in players and fan experience at the same time. The guys break down what fans should demand as ticket prices climb - starting with the most overlooked fix in sports (get people in and out of the stadium faster), plus shorter beer lines, real hospitality spaces, and service that actually matches the price tag. They grade the venues they know best: Mercedes-Benz's flawless concourses, Truist Park's lobster-and-champagne treatment, and how billion-dollar SoFi still fumbled a national championship.
The lesson works whether you're running a stadium or a jewelry store: know who you are, double down on it, and never cheap out on service - because the college kid in the nosebleeds today is your suite buyer twenty years from now. Georgia Tech gets it. And with Justice Haynes in the backfield, one fanbase in Athens should be paying very close attention.
