Ever wonder who actually decides what a diamond is worth? TraxNYC steps into the closed world of the NYC Diamond District to uncover the economics of diamonds. We sit down with Martin Rapaport, the man who sets the standard for the entire industry to answer a question that combines history, finance, and culture: How did the Jewish community build the global diamond trade? This isn't just a vlog, it's an investigation into the supply and demand mechanics that dictate the value of every stone on Earth. From the trust-based "Mazal" handshake to the controversial Rapaport List that acts as the "stock market ticker" for diamonds, we explain how this billion-dollar industry actually works. If you enjoy content from Business Insider, Vox, or GQ, this look into the business of luxury and the underground economy of 47th Street is for you. If you want to understand the real business behind the bling, you can’t miss this history lesson.
