The diamond industry has always traded on mystery — its allure built on scarcity, tradition and the myth of perfection. Tobias Kormind, Co-Founder of 77 Diamonds, saw an opportunity to do things differently.
In this episode, he joins James Lees to explore how technology, transparency and a customer-first philosophy helped reshape one of luxury’s oldest categories.
From the origins of diamond scarcity to the digital transformation that redefined how people buy engagement rings, Tobias reflects on two decades of challenging convention — and what it takes to modernise an industry.
A conversation about innovation, craftsmanship and the quiet revolution changing what we value — and how we buy it.
