The turbulent state of the global diamond industry has led stakeholders to seek clarity through independent analyst Paul Zimnisky's show
NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leading U.S.-based independent diamond and jewelry analyst Paul Zimnisky's PZDA Podcast surpassed 25,000 all-time downloads in October as the industry looks for clarity amidst unprecedented uncertainty.
Over the last five years the diamond industry has experienced record demand followed by a painful recession, while sanctions on Russia, U.S. tariffs, and a luxury lull in China have complicated industry fundamentals. Further, the mainstream emergence of inexpensive lab-grown diamonds, or LGDs, has created structural headwinds for the natural diamond market. If this wasn't enough, De Beers, the diamond industry's long-term steward is up for sale as government stakeholders including Botswana and Angola jockey for control.
Zimnisky commented: "As an analyst this is a very challenging but interesting time to cover this niche industry which has such a rich history. I remain enthusiastic about the future of diamonds because of the genuinely passionate people that represent the industry, many of whom have been on the show over the years –and many of whom I call friends."
Recent guests of the show include influential industry journalist Rob Bates, outspoken natural diamond wholesaler Aleah Arundale and Executive Vice President of The Gemological Institute of America Tom Moses. Since its inception in 2019, the show has featured a wide range of prestigious guests from all segments of the diamond and jewelry industry from all reaches of the world.
