Prices are expected to go up, once the existing inventory depletes, unless a deal is reached between the US and India. Suneeta Kaul speaks with Paul Zimnisky, renowned diamond industry analyst, to gain insights into the fallout of the tariffs, and how they are reshaping buying behaviour and pricing strategies in the US.
