“Uncut Gems,” the newest Safdie Brothers film which stars Adam Sandler as a New York-based gem dealer with a gambling addiction, is my favorite movie from last year. I love the way it so perfectly captures the milieu of New York’s diamond district. I was especially excited to see that Wayne Diamond had a pretty significant part in the film, and am so happy at all the attention he’s gotten since the movie. I highly recommend his interview in Interview Magazine.
Wayne was actually the lookbook model for my jewelry line in 2012. Here are a few of the photos, taken by Jamie Diamond. And, another old connection – I was the musical guest on the first episode of the Safdie Brothers’ “Talk Show.”
