I know how idealistic this sounds, and probably how unrealistic. But one more thing I have learned over these two years is that there is really no such thing as the “diamond industry.” No institution is a monolith, it’s a community of souls. Of people, thousands of individuals who, deep in their hearts, if given the chance, would like to do well by doing good. To all of you, I say, if you truly believe that diamonds represent love, what greater love is there than that of one’s fellow man?
And the irony is, if ever such a marvelous thing could come to pass… it would probably end up being good for business. Imagine how a woman would feel to know that, in being given a diamond, not only that she is loved, but that she is giving love in return.
It was a privilege to be invited here today and I thank you for it.
