Diamond Foundry

As we enter the second decade focused on chip tech of our 30-year founding master plan, on the occasion of a keynote at Slush 2024 with 14,000 attendees, our CEO reviewed the first decade of getting diamond production to cost efficient scale while battling the entrenched diamond mining cartel. Topics: Cartel collusion, De Beers monopoly power abuse, corruptible conspirators Bain&Co / BCG / S&P Global / GIA / JVC, incorruptible women, and advanced tech ultimately winning.

Excited to be ahead of schedule and under budget for the upcoming launch of D Foundry II in Spain, the first site globally deploying our our 80-foot-long tenth-generation cluster plasma reactors, enabling us to remain volume and cost leader in the industry for years to come! Due to high demand for our distinctly large diamond crystals — now 43 carats each on average — we are working to accelerate the schedule of all further stages of expansion.

Consumers buy what’s best for them, not what’s best for retailers. There is real choice now in the market, and limiting choice at a retailer will just limit their sales. https://lnkd.in/dp6TEFJf

A tale of two diamond producers: Diamond Foundry vs De Beers. And why VRAI created diamonds are unmatched: www.VRAI.com/vrai-created

Why lab grown diamonds won’t get any much further less expensive to consumers: Production cost may well decrease further over time but for a consumer to buy an item at a respectable outlet, this retail outlet has real expenses beyond the good itself including paying Meta and Google, paying staff salaries and health insurance, paying taxes, accepting returns, etc. It’s called system thinking. If solar cells were free, a solar installation at a residential home would still cost about what it costs today when permitting, mounting, inspections, service, etc. are all factored in. This is fundamentally why the mining cartel’s hope that lab diamonds become too cheap to be desirable is just wishful thinking. Meta and Google won’t lower their fees. Buying a lab diamond is the smart choice in this day and age. We are very proud that the customers that do!

It’s time to announce a winner for the best comments on our DF Lab photos. Who should get the 5-carat? Let us ask everyone for who we should choose (comment) as well this poll:

Mined diamond prices are crashing… 10% down in a single day! De Beers paid BCG to put out a fantasy study of prices increasing each and every year by 4-5% in support of their marketing. This no longer works! Signet made a grave strategic error banking on this as opposed to embracing tech & the future.

From DF Labs — what is it? Comment and win a 5-carat diamond. Winner announced July 1st for best overall takes. DF insiders not eligible.
