I think it is a very small niche market, really not worth investing I would think.Date: 8/9/2005 9:27:42 PM

Seems DeBeers and the rest of the diamond marketing machine has ignored 50% of their potential customers.
Do any of you in the industry see this market cracking open?

I think it may just be considered too ''girly''. However, I think a small diamond inlaid into a wedding band is nice...I think that is how Brad Pitt''s was--a plat band with a small diamond embedded in the center of the ring.

Some of our best customers are men.. They buy for themselves, they buy big, and they buy color.. They all do diamonds to some extent, but for them it''s all about flawless (as near as can be) colored gemstones.. The last one we made was a 20ct+ amazing Yellow Yogo Sapphire (natural of course) with just a few diamonds added for accents..
To quote one of them, anyone can buy a big diamond, very few people know how to buy big color

Greg has a diamond in his ring and he gets alot of compliments. So many guys at work have told him they wish they had a diamond, and gals stop him in the elevator and tell him that they love his ring and wish their hubby would wear something so cutting edge.
He has a tension set titanium and gold ring with a small F VS ACA in it. He loves it and it looks beautiful on his hand, much better than a basic platinum ring.
I think men in diamonds can be a positive thing...of course I am not into the diamond encrusted cluster pinky rings from the 80s!
Respectfully, I fully disagree. I am 100% comfortable in my masculinity and I don''t think diamonds make me look any less masculine. I just hate diamonds in any band that I choose to put on my finger.Date: 8/10/2005 5:42:59 PM

Sounds like some men are comfortable wearing diamonds but others are not because they are concerned about appearing less masculine.
Apparently men who are more confident in their masculinity are more likely to wear them.
