Something about this made me think you should consider doing a video about the plastic surgery world in California .
I cant put my finger quite on where you got that idea from 😅
th-cam.com/video/aigoMR-MeBw/w-d-xo.html
So Creepy!!! I never advocate plastic surgery! I did ripped my finger and the dr said to replace the skin lost he could take part of my booty skin and cover it on my finger I said no way thanks I will deal with my scar for ever, and in time it just enclose itself, I am gods precious body and the lord knows me well and accepts me with all my wrinkles and marks and just for who I am.
Like the women in NY and Miami don’t get tons of work done
@@bonniem3754 You are correct its everywhere , So often quite obvious and in my opinion not very attractive and at times freakish and an obvious sign of insecurities for those who elect it. Yes a choice and yes some people are attracted to it .I find it interesting the money that is both spent and made. I have been told that many Doctors are pressed to go far beyond the subtle look and it is the patient that decides to go far beyond that point . California has the most surgeons at 765 and Wyoming the fewest at 3. When the number of surgeons is divided by the state population, Florida ranks at the top with 0.220 surgeons per ten-thousand people, then New York (0.217), Connecticut (0.209), Maryland (0.206), and Illinois (0.201)
This is quite the change from the usual social issue topics typically found on this channel. I like it.

6:20 In my opinion, handing over a diamond "worth $1 million" with no collateral shows the true value of diamonds.
Exactly. they aren't worth squat. The value is held up by lies, with holding inventory and with marketing.
We’ll if you want to get technical. Nothing is actually worth anything.
The "true value" of anything is what someone's willing to pay for it. Diamonds may not be your thing, but lots of people like them.
@@morecowbell235 but they are valuable, he handed over diamonds on camera and i guarantee that man sells them on no time...and diamonds can always be resold when you no longer want them.

"I can't have anything less than a 6 carat now, is that obnoxious?"
Yes. Yes it is.
Don't be jealous, just earn more ))
@@trumpeldorf Maybe he's not jealous and just really thinks she's obnoxious, because she is. If I had hundreds of thousands I wouldn't be spending it on shiny rocks myself, so I am not jealous about the stone.
@@tylerchambers6246The bottom line is, if you had hundreds of thousands to spend on anything. Just because you wanted to. You don't, so you can't say what you would or wouldn't do. When you have extra hundreds of thousands, your opinion and your life changes.

“Make sure the dog doesn’t pee on the rug.”
Peter: ......... “How are we supposed to do that?” lol
😂
I'm getting a Snatch vibe in this video. I laughed so hard when he laughed at getting married. I tell my son to think 100x before he decides to marry because the odds are not in his favor in this agreement 😅 Great video Peter thanks for sharing.
Almost 45% of first marriages in the US end in divorce. Divorce rates on second marriage show that the average duration of a second marriage is 7.3 years for men and 6.8 years for women.
7:43
"You walk by yourself to the jail! hahahaha"
I laughed and cried when he said that.
Wow - that was really interesting. Did not realize LA has a diamond district. The "shopper" in me is saying," Peter, the video wasn't long enough!"
insane going from Venice Beach homeless camps right to selling diamonds for 6 figures up in the mansion..
Think that's the point
I love showing contrast. I've got a good video from South Central coming next.
@@PeterSantenello yes that was one hell of a contrast.. looking forward to the next one
th-cam.com/video/aigoMR-MeBw/w-d-xo.html
@@PeterSantenello man your videos are awesome you really doing a good job vloggin in your country.. I'm doing the same in Sicily 😅 I wish you come here one day I'm sure you will love it!
Thought this would be kind of boring. Turns out to be one of your most interesting videos. Amazing.
Agree
wtf ? did you not see any of his other works ?
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
I've bought wholesale in the diamond district in New York and Philly when I used to have a store. It's all in who you know but there is also a credit scoring system used in the wholesale world that they don't talk about in this video. If you pay your dealers as agreed, you get the best rating and it opens up even more doors for you. If you don't pay on time, you will have a very hard time buying from dealers and you will get bad terms and charged more for goods ...
hi kim
Very interesting. My wife and I are trying to create a personal jeweler business and I'm having the hardest time finding sources for stones. I can buy lab grown online very easily...but natural diamonds you really need to know some people. And I dont. What's your advice for making these connections?
@@stringfellowhawk4843 it's really all in who you know. Try reaching out to a jewelry forum on Facebook called Jewelers Helping Jewelers. There are a lot of wholesalers on there. It's a tight knit community ....
@@stringfellowhawk4843 hey man could you drop your social media contact i know a few sources that could help you.
I sell whole sell diamond
The daughters are great entrepreneurs.
They sold clever paintings and now dental jewlery. Very smart.

As a woman, diamonds are not my dream or best friend. But I will say they are gorgeous, and do look fabulous on others.
Exactly how I feel!
@Brandon May nah I’d probably just give it back cause I don’t even trust myself 😂 material items don’t really mean anything to me
I'm not into them either, though it was still fun to watch this video. Just give me a delicious meal at an ethnic restaurant and I'm good to go.
Changing subjects up is good . Sometimes I like to see happy people .
Hello Williams, I'd like to know more about you

3 women: consumer society at their finest
Diamonds are a scam. They aren’t rare, it’s all a marketing ploy. One corporation controls most of the world supply and controls the prices.
Peter your videos always capture the reality of places and people …or in LA ‘s case the fake-ness ; I live in La and La is filled with shallow materialistic people especially in the affluent areas … this was such a true depiction
Wow, judgemental and jealous much?
@@NSResponder are you judging the person who posted the comment?
Imagine meeting one of these women out when they aren't all coked up and then you find out weeks later they'll only accept 6c or bigger... hard pass.
This video is unreal, mind blowing stuff Peter, and the personalities showcased in this video are something else!
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
This vlog felt like a GTA Mission ✌🏽😂💯🔥
the diamond mom with the twins feel like NPCs
@@benaffleckisanokayactor the beginning meeting with the dealer is what sent me 😂
so true NPC all over in this matrix
they met kinda near the roscoe's chicken and waffles on la brea, so you coulda ate at like the cluckin bell in gta had some food, met up with the uk npc, he says "drive me over to my place and I will show you how to make some real money" And then you have his contact for future side missions with diamonds. @@Ham1001dy
Diamonds are a girls best friend.
A dog is a mans best friend.
I’ll take the dog.
Same here, and I'm a girl
Crazy... what a mad world with so much contrast 🤯 Thanks for sharing these experiences 👊
Geeeez’ bro. If you’d stayed a half an hour longer I swear this video had to be uploaded to a different website. What a lovely woman she is 😁😁😁
Great video Peter! As a guy who trades in jewelry it's awesome to see you showcase the people within this world. It's why I got started myself as a customer first, just spending time with my first jeweler helping me choose a ring lead me into purchasing and selling vintage pieces. Gemstones are a crazy world, would love to see you hit a gem and mineral show and talk to the rock hounds!! Keep up the awesome work.
Hello. How are u?
Peter, we need more from Diamond Peter!
"I'm a fucking smart Jew" lmao love it, she's hilarious
🤣🤣
🔥🔥🔥 CONTENT PETER!!
LOVING YOUR CHANNEL. I SUBSCRIBED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAVE BEEN HOOKED. I LIKE HOW DOWN TO EARTH YOU ARE.
Welcome DJ! Thanks Man.
This is so cool, my dad works in this jewelry district specifically in the International Jewelry District building, the 11-floor one on the corner of Pershing Square. After going multiple times with him to see what he does, I can attest this is what really happens in the LA jewelry district!
Hi Weston, How are you doing? You seem like an interesting person and I'd like to know you if you don't mind.
@@phaedralynn1808 Huh?
@@westoneichner8089 Would like to be your friend Honey.. You look really amazing.
@@phaedralynn1808 love how you can see what I look like! Cute!
@@westoneichner8089 I saw it on your display pictute here
This was cool, thanks Peter and Dovi
Please go back and interview Peter about life and film his advice!!! He was a hoot!!!!
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
The good old "diamond scam", you pay hundreds of thousands of $ for something it can't be resold. A totally cornered market by manufacturers, with a totally pumped heavy profit margins.
I think it was too short😏 would there be more of it?
As always very intersting 👌 Peter!!
Yes would love a 2-3 episode on it, this is gold or should I say diamond 💎😉
Peter got exhausted ,was enough haha
I learned a lot more about diamonds after watching this. Thank you! 💎
Back in the early nineties I worked for an independent gift/jewelry store. I loved seeing, and trying on, the superior ($100k+) diamond rings. The cut, color, and clarity... words cannot describe the beauty of those stones. Just breathtaking! ❤️
What's funny is that I rarely wear jewelry now. Just my simple diamond wedding band.
This TH-cam comment section feels like Reddit
Like mother like daughter Cor blimey they gorgeous😍
I really enjoyed this video like always Peter shows us a world outside of our own and heading his experiences a long with the people he meets is truly fun to watch
I only came across you channel recently. And wanted to say your content is fantastic. Many of your videos are prime time TV level. Hope your channel continues to be a great sucess.

To be honest, wasnt really interested when i saw the title but gave it a chance and was entertained.
As a brit I'm glad he said Zed.Love the vids Peter
same, as a Canadian lol
It’s ZEEEEEEE 😂
@@cindimams4394 lol,its zed and you know it 🤣
Love the Axel Thesleff track on this video! I heard it first on your Iran series and it worked so well. Keep up the great work!
amazing video and amazing people you met
The wonder bread art (about millennials) was hilarious.
Another great video my brother
Always the best video content out there.
Peter get Peter Marco he will blow your mind
I cringed when the daughter told her mother to shut up 😬. My mom would’ve slapped me across the face. Great video though Peter.
I tell my mom to shut up all the time. I still love her very much but yeah
Well your mom probably isn’t a barred out wino
Mother or father at a certain age need too be told too be quiet .

That's what Rich mindset means. Thanks Peter, great video.
hi

A swarm of Karen's in their nest
😂honestly
LOL
I'm a jeweler. Glad this popped up. I love your work, Peter!
You should do a video about watch buying and selling. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What kind of camera do you use?
You are now my favorite TH-camr by the way.
look in this bio bro
The working-class chip on my shoulder made me hate these people from beginning-to-end. I'm from Scotland so being working class doesn't have the same stigma that it might have in the US.
Eat the rich. feed the poor. Peace & love.
I'm from California and this burned my biscuits, too. It's vain ostentation to the max. Gross.
What is it that you didn’t like?
Blame your parents for being poor
More fresh content. Thanks Peter. No borders on what you can cover.
You are on utube public channel; don’t risk your life carrying $100k worth of diamonds whether it’s insured or not.
now I know where to get free diamonds...I'll be in LA this weekend 😎🤪🙌
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
What a world!! This was a fascinating episode....to also know there is an insurance market for the shipping, transport is also quite fascinating. One thing on the buy a kit get a diamond giveaway, I believe that's actually not allowed by the FTC, if I am not mistaken, you cannot have a giveaway/contest and ask people to also buy a product unless you offer an alternative entry method that doesn't requiring purchasing.
Okay
Anyone else notice the jar at the bottom right corner at 7:32? LOL 😬
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
I loved this Vlog Peter! And yes I didn't know nothing about the Diamond world. Awesome Vlog as usual. Until the next one my friend...
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
Dovi's gonna do well now. Most diamonds now are lab grown and can be purchased at really cheap rates. My entire family was in the diamond business - seeing those rocks all I could ever think of was ... it's just a shiny stone. Why is it so expensive? It's all marketing and very clever marketing.
4:28 he was making sure that he had no coke powder left on his nose lol
That L.A family just wrecked on my nerves that's why I ll always prefer people of the midwest which are more down to earth and less fake
I'd hate to think that b/c of this video Jewish women might be stereotyped as greedy and silly.. it's just so not like that for the most part!
I’m from the midwest & recently picked out my own engagement ring, it’s a 0.8 carat round brilliant E color. I thought it was funny the girl in the video is around my age (23ish) and says she wants a 6 carat diamond lol her boyfriend’s family better have money!
Aliza Kurzweil I would never assume that from this video, I think they’re just excited to look at pretty diamonds. I get excited about it too! lol Plus their mom obviously has some influence on their love for diamonds, and who can blame them for that, her ring is gorgeous!
This was fun. A little lighter fare than we've seen lately and welcome for it.
Also, Peter was hilarious.

I have some cousins in the diamond wholesale trade. I remember going with him once to NY diamond district. Just like this . Hundreds of thousands of dollars on a handshake.
i mess myself by missing lots from your vlogs .. thoughts that you stoppd in COVID era 😆 .. and as usuall always fabulous and energetic vlogs .. respect from Saudi arabia 🇸🇦
Quite disgusting and repulsive considering the problems and poverty we see around us everyday. Imagine the change we could make if everyone sold just their diamond rings to contribute 😮
I can't believe how he just walks into their home and can start filming. Americans really don't seem to mind.
Same for the diamond district.
I can say for sure that this wouldn't have been possible in the Antwerp diamond district. They keep to themselves over there.
Liked this video
That sound in that house is as chaotic as your video from the streets of Lahore.
Starting the Video and seeing dovi is a Indicator for an authentic video 👍🏻
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
I love this video!
What a treat!! Great stuff.
This is just proof diamonds aren't as rare as they make them out to be
Go and try and sell a diamond to a jeweler you can't because they aren't worth that much
yes, they're not worth that much when you resell them, that means image how much profit they're making!!!
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
That dude @7:00 certainly has a sense of humor! 😅😅
That old man is so funny and cool
Peter, we’re going to make you an honorary Member of the Tribe. You keep making you’re way deeper and deeper into the Jewish community and it’s rich culture and ways of doing business.
I second that! We are happy to have you, Peter!
A very very rich culture 😏
every man’s nightmare LOL Peter agreed he bought his first ring 😆
I like these women. Great video. But marriage is awesome. Ive got 27 yrs in. Not easy but a gift.
That was way more fun than I expected. Thank you.
Hey Do you Need Accounts Handle Services, Transaction Service, Payment Handle all over world
LOL!! I thought he was going to cover your eyes so you will not film the location. So mysterious!!
Getting some Uncut Gems vibes from this video 👀
Best show I have ever come across on you tube.your the man brother I love all of your super detailed hard hitting content 🙏
Poor lady, single with 2 girls. She deserves a bigger diamond. It's really hard in LA to be single, nevertheless single with kids.
Trust me it's not all glamorous. There is a lot of isolation and loneliness. Material things are just a plug to stop the bleeding.

Very cool
It's cause once a diamond is bought its pretty much got no value afterwards for the most part , there nothing like gold or silver or the rest of the metals

Lmao, only a peter would order a wedding ring on Amazon 😂
That diamond looked very cloudy.
Totally!
