Only Natural Diamonds?Magazine Feature–– Life After Diamonds: The Closure of a Mine What happens after a diamond mine is depleted? That is another chapter in a diamond’s story with a far-reaching impact for generations to come.

Mining companies have taken a progressive approach to rehabilitating the land and protecting wildlife in remote regions in?Canada,?Africa, and?Australia, as well as partnering with Indigenous and local communities and governments, to create sustainable ecosystems, employment and business opportunities.

Only Natural Diamonds Hosts Conversation with Jill Newman and Eve Goldberg to Celebrate New Book The William Goldberg Way in NYC Natural diamond dealer William Goldberg’s profound impact on the industry is showcased in new book, The William Goldberg Way, written by?Only Natural Diamonds’?Editor-at-Large, Jill Newman and Jackie Caradonio. Last night, industry partners and friends including JCK’s Rob Bates, Kathleen Beckett, Marion Fasel, Ruthie Friedlander, Roxanne Robinson, National Jeweler’s Lauren McLemore, Josh Peskowitz, Professional Jeweler’s Richelle Rimmer, Meeling Wong, and more, gathered with Only Natural Diamonds Editor-in-Chief Sam Broekema, Newman, and Goldberg, for a discussion about the book which chronicles Goldberg’s transformation of 47th Street into a global diamond hub. The book also highlights Goldberg’s visionary approach to diamond cutting, including the creation of the iconic Ashoka cut. 2024 marks the 25th?birthday of the?Ashoka, a distinctive cut that has inspired countless designers since introduced in 1999. The cut still inspires today, as evinced by this quote from TAFFIN by James de Givenchy: “Nothing competes with a perfectly cut Ashoka. Put it next to an emerald cut of the same weight, and it looks a lot bigger, yet it has this beautiful soft fire. There is nothing like it out there.” With stories from industry heavyweights, the book explores how Goldberg's passion for beauty, integrity, and innovation reshaped the diamond world while leaving a lasting legacy.
