Episode Description

In this episode, The Guru of the Seas, Tom Drake, sits down for an engaging, informative, and educational conversation with Albert Gad, CEO and President of Diamonds International. Albert shares his remarkable journey, which began at just 18 years old in the wholesale diamond business and grew into the global enterprise it is today. Diamonds International now operates more than 125 jewelry centers throughout the Caribbean and Alaska.

From wholesaling diamonds to becoming a De Beers sightholder, opening a manufacturing facility in Namibia, and expanding beyond island retail into luxury boutiques aboard cruise ships, Albert’s story is one of vision, growth, and innovation in the fine jewelry industry.
