The Diamond Business 20 Years Ago & The Rise of Dubai as the City of Gold | Episode 58 | Mr. Tarun

Описание: How did diamonds trade before certifications, labs, and digital platforms?
Why was Antwerp once the heart of the global diamond trade and how did Dubai emerge as one of the world’s most trusted jewellery hubs?

In this episode of The Jewellery Pod, we explore the real evolution of the diamond industry from old-school trust-based trading to today’s regulated, transparent markets. The conversation dives into how diamonds were valued before reports existed, why trust became the foundation of jewellery retail, how certification transformed buyer confidence, and why legacy still matters more than branding.

Joining us for this insightful conversation is Mr. Tarun Bhodia, CEO of M. Suresh Gems L.L.C., Dubai UAE. Under his leadership, M. Suresh has grown from sourcing rough diamonds globally to operating state-of-the-art manufacturing units, producing round and fancy-shaped diamonds of the highest international standards. Known for its decades-long legacy, precision, and ethical practices, the brand represents trust, excellence, and innovation in the diamond industry worldwide.
