The AV-0 Peacemaker, a evolution of the iconic Ingram.
The Peacemaker arrived in 1999 to replace the outdated Pythons of unit 1. It was supposed to be more advanced than the Ingrams of Unit 2 in nearly every way, its most distinctive feature being the Neural Network System, which allowed for decisions to be made based on the senses of the Labor itself without relying on the operator. With this system, even in the event of a collision with a building due to a pilot error, the labor would reflexively take evasive action based on its own judgment.
Unfortunately, the Neural Network would be the Peacemakers downfall, in late 1999, the infamous Griffon used surrounding civilian infrastructure to force the police labors to take evasive action whenever they tried to engage, eventually defeating both of the Peacemakers without any major damage taken.

by Joshua Hoffman
Unit 8200, Israel’s elite cyber-intelligence unit, has produced many of the country’s top tech entrepreneurs. Alumni went on to found Waze, Check Point, Wiz, and Mobileye. Some say serving in Unit 8200 is better than an Ivy League degree.
Israel is believed to have carried out more assassinations than any other Western country since World War II. The message is simple: If you harm a Jew, we will hunt you down.
Israel once smuggled Iraqi Jewish children out of Baghdad ... hidden inside suitcases. This was part of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah, which airlifted over 100,000 Iraqi Jews in the early 1950s.
The IDF invented “roof knocking” — a tactic that warns civilians before striking terrorist targets embedded within civilian infrastructure. A small, non-lethal warning is fired at a building to give civilians time to evacuate before a precision strike.
In 1960, the Mossad kidnapped Adolf Eichmann — one of the architects of the Holocaust — in Argentina and brought him to trial in Jerusalem. They tracked him, disguised themselves as airline crew, and sedated him before flying him to Israel.
Israel is the only country in history to have airlifted Africans to safety because they were Jews — Ethiopian Jews in Operations Moses, Joshua, and Solomon.
The Mossad once used a fake diving resort in Sudan as a front to smuggle Ethiopian Jews to Israel. Yes, a real hotel staffed by Mossad agents.This was part of Operation Brothers, which inspired the Netflix film, “The Red Sea Diving Resort.”
In 1976, Israel pulled off the boldest hostage rescue in history — Operation Entebbe. Israeli commandos flew 2,500 miles to Uganda to rescue Jewish hostages held by Palestinian and German terrorists. Over 100 hostages rescued. The only Israeli soldier killed? Yonatan Netanyahu, the brother of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Mossad has posed as tourists, journalists, diplomats — and in one case, a Canadian birdwatcher — to conduct spy ops. They have even launched fake companies as covers for global missions, such as the ingenious beeper attack against Hezbollah last year. Once, Israel’s intelligence services created a fake psychic hotline to track terrorists. They claimed to be fortune-tellers to trick suspects into revealing info on themselves or their relatives.
Beneath a kibbutz laundry and bakery in Rehovot, a secret underground factory known as the Ayalon Institute produced over 2 million bullets for the Jewish underground — right under the noses of the British. Operated by young Haganah1 members in their teens and twenties, the factory ran in total secrecy from 1945 to 1948, with noise and heat masked by the aboveground bakery machines. Workers sunbathed on the roof to avoid suspicion from looking too pale. Even British soldiers unknowingly dropped off laundry at the site, never realizing they were helping cover up Israel’s first covert munitions operation.
The IDF has a specific soldier role called the “snack sergeant.” During long missions or operations, some units assign a soldier to manage morale ... with Bamba, Bisli, and chocolate.
🗺 Jerusalem of Gold
Jerusalem is over 3,000 years old and has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, captured and recaptured 44 times. And yet, it's still here. Alive. Holy. (And constantly under renovation.)
The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and the Romans in 70 CE — both on the same Hebrew date: the 9th of Av. Coincidence? Jews say: not likely.
Jerusalem is mentioned over 600 times in the Hebrew Bible — but not once in the Quran. And yet, it is considered the third holiest city in Islam after Mecca and Medina.
The Old City of Jerusalem is only 1 square kilometer (0.35 square miles), but contains the holiest sites for Judaism (Western Wall), Christianity (Church of the Holy Sepulchre), and Islam (Al-Aqsa Mosque). Basically, it’s the world’s most sacred traffic jam.
Over 1 million notes are placed into the Western Wall each year — and yes, they’re collected and buried respectfully. You can even send one via email or WhatsApp, and a rabbi will stick it in for you.

Although Beth and I differ on whether NYC is a desirable place to live, I am always impressed by the mass transit system. Getting to and from JFK to Grand Central is fast, easy and inexpensive. Grand Central and the connection to the LIRR are beautiful and wondrous; an impressive example artful, yet efficient public infrastructure. I can't help but compare it to the St. Louis Union Station, a former depot for Midwest trains and travelers which has lost its former glory and purpose and now serves as a hotel and tourist attraction.
I've yet to find a midtown hotel that meets all my needs but doesn't cost $1,000\nt. Last week I stayed at the Lexington. Instead of its own gym the hotel offered free use of the Crunch Fitness next door.
Tumblr media
The week was busy but I got the chance to do some shopping on 5th Ave and bought Beth a surprise Valentine's Day gift from Tiffany's. This isn't the Tiffany's building but it is very distinctive.

So i’ve been thinking (shocking, really) about the world building for my reverse robins wingfic.
ike, sure, it’s a little fic and ppl prolly won’t notice, but i just cant help but speculate.
in this au, everyone is born with wings unless afflicted with a certain illness, disease, or genetic defect that leaves you with no avian traits (which is the excuse the kents use).
but how would having wings influence the infrastructure? well, i’m glad you asked! cities are more compact because there isn’t really as big a need for transportation unless you’re an aves that’s just not built for long-distance travels like various passeriformes birds.
planes still exist, but they’re utilized by the avians who aren’t able to fly long distances. avians who have wings like albatrosses or terns or other soaring birds would probably require licenses to do their annual migrations and travels- same applies to regualr migritory species like ducks and geese- where the instinct remains despite not needing to migrate.
of course, with the constant migration through countries, i think there would be more mixing of races and ethnicities especially within the migratory bird communities, so there would probably be less overall hostilities.
now, there will still be discriminatory and hateful ideals, and some are shown in my fics. For example, Gotham’s elites are mostly made up of raptors and birds of prey like eagles, kites, kestrels, hawks, falcons, ospreys, owls, etc- birds who actively hunt down mammalian or lizards for prey (in the real world i mean), that is because of displays of powers. Scavengers like condors, vultures, buzzards, are regarded lower on the social ladder but not as low as perching birds and song birds simply because of their ability to have sustained flight.
like i mentioned briefly, songbirds and perching birds (passerines) are regarded lowly in general due to their “weak demeanor” and overall flashiness, which gives them the reputation of being only suitable to work in brothels and such regardless of gender (but especially dudes where the aves species exhibits sexual dimorphism, eg. cardinals, peacocks, golden pheasants, etc.)
there are definitely some exceptions, being corvids. some cultures have corvids as villans, whereas others may portray corvids as intelligent and charming.
now, we arrive to genetics. im still not 100% sure how i want the phenotype of an avian to be passed down. so far, it’s mainly just sons are the same aves as their fathers (like thomas wayne, bruce, and damian are all harpy eagles, but martha wayne was a kingfisher and talia is an imperial eagle), but im not sure abt daughters. genetics is messy, but i think i’ve managed to sertle on a 50/50 chance of being born either the same aves as their mother, or their paternal grandmother. like if damian had been born with xx instead of xy chromosomes, then he’d either have been an imperial eagle like talia, or a kingfisher like martha wayne. intersex people exist too, and i think their wings would be a blend between both their mother and father’s.
now for the the supers and the other metas:
as mentioned previously, the kents claim that their adopted son had a genetic disorder that basically prevented him from growing wings (or just left him in a state similar to humans before they were all “cursed” by a diety to have wings, or whatever. in the dcu, that probably woulnd’t even be too far fetched), so clark lacked a major social component to his childhood. without wings and a tail, others would have a harder time reading his emotions, seeing as these appendages are crucial in nonverbal communication between avians, and that gives clark a leg up in reading other people, but having them not understanding what he’s thinking.
now with jon and kon, they have two VERY different situations. for jon, since his paternal side is wings-free, i just gave him lois’s ave- western kingbird- instead of making him no-winged. kon, on the other hand was a test-tube baby, so it was a toss-up on whether he’d get lex luthor’s purple martin wings, or clark’s no-wings since they’re both guys. I think kon would’ve enjoyed wings, so i gave him the purple martin wings. Plus, they’re pretty much invulnerable, and their wings are no different.
diana and the other ppl from themyscira wouldn’t have wings since they aren’t human, and same applies to the other jl members who aren’t humans.
on a wholly separate note: the lazarus pits. here, not only does it give you white streaks in your hair, it’ll bleach out your feathers. so liek if a peacock was thrown into the pit, not only would they die and come back manic, their feathers would make them look like piebald, or have different markings or white ticking.
anyways, that’s the end of my long post, and i hope yall enjoyed listening to me speculate and talk about birds and my silly little guys!!

Self-driving vehicle developers don’t usually love talking about “teleoperation”—when a human guides or drives robot cars remotely. It can feel like a dirty secret. Shouldn’t an autonomous vehicle operate, well, autonomously?
But experts say teleoperations are, at least right now, a critical part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla's Robotaxi. The tech, though impressive, is still in development, and the autonomous systems still need humans to guide them through less-common and especially sticky road situations. Plus, a bedrock principle of safety engineering is that every system needs a backup—doubly so for new robotic ones that involve two-ton EVs driving themselves on public roads.
And yet, just days out from Tesla’s launch of its long-awaited (and much delayed) Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, the public still doesn’t know much at all about its teleoperations systems. Tesla has posted a job related to teleoperations that states the role will be responsible for developing the application "that our Remote Operators use to interface with our cars and robots,” an application where these operators will be “transported into the device’s world using a state-of-the-art VR rig that allows them to remotely perform complex and intricate tasks.”
Alarmingly, several government spokespeople—representing the city of Austin, the state of Texas, and the US’s top road safety regulator—didn’t respond to questions about Tesla’s teleoperations. Indeed, Austin and the Texas Department of Transportation referred all our questions about Tesla technology to the company itself. Tesla, which disbanded its public relations team in 2020, didn’t respond to WIRED’s questions.
Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the country’s road safety watchdog, wrote a letter to Tesla posing questions about, among other things, how or if Tesla planned to use teleoperations. How will its human staff be expected to monitor, supervise, or even intervene when its systems are on the road? The government asked the company to respond by June 19, which will be after the service supposedly launches on June 12, according to reporting from Bloomberg earlier this month. NHTSA repeatedly would not respond to WIRED's inquiries into what it knows about Tesla's teleoperations.
The Los Angeles Times reported that humans used teleoperations to manipulate the robot Optimus during a “Cybercab” debut event in Los Angeles, and when Optimus showed off its new hands a month later, catching a tennis ball in mid-air, an engineer for the company acknowledged that humans similarly used teleoperations. The company also has a permit to test autonomous vehicles in California with a driver behind the wheel. The state has much stricter rules than Texas and requires some kind of “communication link” between testing vehicles and remote operators, so it’s likely the company has some kind of system.
While not shedding any light on exactly how Tesla's teleoperations will work in the city, Austin Transportation and Public Works spokesperson Cristal Corrales wrote in an email: “The City works with AV [autonomous vehicle] companies before and during deployment to obtain training for first responders, establish expectations for ongoing communication and share information about infrastructure and events.” Texas Department of Transportation spokesperson Laura Butterbrodt said in an emailed statement: “Texas law allows for AV testing and operations on Texas roadways as long as they meet the same safety and insurance requirements as every other vehicle on the road.”
Bedeviling this Robotaxi mystery is the fact that the autonomous vehicle industry hasn’t coalesced around a definition for “teleoperations.” So as Tesla watchers await the Austin service, it’s worth understanding a bit more about these teleoperations, and how they work.

A Little Help From My Friends
It’s worth defining some terms. What self-driving-car developers usually call “remote operations” refer to a few different sorts of human jobs. There are, first, the operators who deal with other humans. These are people trained to interact with autonomous taxi riders when they have questions or need assistance in an emergency. Alphabet’s Waymo, the undisputed leader in self-driving, has a big Support button on its in-car passenger screens, which can connect riders with these folks. These operators can also be people trained to interact with law enforcement or emergency responders when they need assistance.
Then there are operators who deal with the autonomous system. Some of these people may work in “remote assistance.” More confusion: Self-driving car developers give these tasks different names and titles. Amazon subsidiary Zoox uses “teleguidance”; the self-driving-truck developers at Aurora like “teleassistance”; Tesla appears to stick to “teleoperation”; Waymo calls these workers “fleet response agents.” Whatever they’re called, these humans are meant to guide the autonomous system when it needs help. A car might alert people, for example, when it has encountered a roadblock, like construction equipment; the remote assistant might suggest a lane change or a turn or even a quick dip onto a road’s shoulder to get around it.
These human assistants can also sometimes reroute an autonomous vehicle if its planned itinerary no longer makes sense—maybe a road is unexpectedly closed off for a street fair. They can also sometimes help the car identify objects that have, for whatever reason, confused its sensors: a plastic bag flapping in the wind or a traffic light (red or green?).Got a Tip?Are you a former or current Tesla employee or know more about the company’s Robotaxi operations? WIRED would like to speak to you. Using a non-work phone or computer, please reach out to reporter Aarian Marshall on Signal at aarianm.30
Remote assistance should be a part of every safe self-driving-vehicle program, says Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies autonomous vehicle safety. “The technology is not there for them to be able to handle everything, and that’s OK,” he says. Having humans operate in the background of autonomous systems, then, isn’t “cheating” at self-driving. It’s understanding the limits of today’s technology—and what it takes to run a profitable business based on self-driving cars.
Still, some remote assistance programs are safer than others, Koopman says. Some of that comes down to “triggers,” or how the system knows it needs help and turns to its human overlords. Is it the human assistant’s job to notice that the vehicle is stuck—or about to smash into something? Or is the onus on the vehicle to ask for aid? The safer bet, he says, is to train the technology to know when it needs intervention rather than relying on the vigilance of the human auxiliaries.
Asking for help can be very hard for people—but it might be harder for robots. That’s because autonomous systems must automatically provide the humans with everything they need to know to assist: what happened, where the vehicle is in space, and if there’s anything around it. Only then can the humans guide the robots.

Humans in the Loop
If that sounds tough, even tougher—and more controversial—is “remote driving.” This is what most people probably think of when they hear “teleoperations”: Someone far away from the supposed self-driving car, behind their own steering wheel or joystick, piloting it like a long-distance RC car.
Remote driving has even more technical challenges. Ben Shukman should know—as an engineer at a startup called Phantom Auto that focused on remote driving, he believes he was the first to do it on public roads. The first issue is connectivity. “Your ability to drive a car without being in the car is only as stable as the internet connection that connects you to it,” he says.
But anyone who has called a friend on a long drive knows that networks drop in and out as you move in space. There are technical ways to knit together networks, but those aren’t foolproof. This leads to big issues with latency. So imagine the worst-case scenario: A robot car needs help navigating around an accident on a highway, a remote driver gets it moving, and then … the connection dies.
Another challenge in remote driving: Helping drivers understand the experience of driving without actually being in the car. It’s hard to understand how quickly the momentum is shifting, or how hard you’re braking if you’re not inside the car. Shukman says it’s possible to build a user interface that gives remote drivers a sense of what it’s like on the road, but this takes thought and time.
For these reasons, Shukman says, remote driving is less than safe in environments where vehicles are moving quickly in unpredictable environments, even above a handful of miles per hour. Today, the technique is mostly used in public to get delivery robots out of jams. Those move so slowly that a few milliseconds of dropped connection likely won’t spell disaster. The startup where he worked, Phantom Auto, eventually pivoted to operating forklifts remotely in warehouse settings. (It shut down last year, but its founders are sticking with its thesis: Their new startup keeps humans “in the loop” by building a platform that allows people to easily intervene to help in AI search.)
The Tesla Question
If Tesla does make good on its promise to start its Robotaxi service in Austin this month, how will it handle teleoperations? A Morgan Stanley research note from its head of global autos and shared mobility research Adam Jonas claims the service will be heavily teleoperated, though Tesla has not confirmed any of this.
The job posting for software engineers working in teleoperation on “Optimus & Robotaxi” explicitly says the company’s remote operators will be “transported into the device’s world using a state-of-the-art VR rig” that will supposedly let them remotely execute intricate tasks requiring some form of human involvement. This sounds more like remote driving—direct intervention with the driving task—than remote assistance.
If Tesla’s remote operators are meant to closely monitor its Robotaxis’ systems, “I think it’s going to be very difficult to expand beyond a few vehicles and a small area,” says Koopman, the professor. Or at least, to do it safely.
In fact, that’s what CEO Elon Musk has said—that Tesla’s Robotaxi launch will start with just 10 to 20 cars and will expand from there. Maybe there will be some robots. But the better questions are what the humans supporting them will be doing—and whether they’ll be doing it safely.

The Evolution of Infrastructure and Smart Technology Solutions in Dubai
Dubai, a city that was once a small trading port, has rapidly transformed into one of the world’s most technologically advanced urban centers. Over the last few decades, it has seen a dramatic evolution in terms of infrastructure, smart technologies, and digital solutions. This progress has not only enhanced the lifestyle of residents but also positioned Dubai as a global hub for business, tourism, and innovation.
At the heart of this transformation lies the city’s investment in modern infrastructure and cutting-edge technology solutions. From high-speed internet networks to AI-powered surveillance systems, Dubai's push towards smart city status is evident in every corner. Government initiatives such as the "Smart Dubai" strategy have paved the way for the integration of technology in all aspects of urban living—including education, corporate environments, transportation, and communication systems.
One key area of advancement has been in networking and infrastructure solutions. Robust and secure networking solutions are essential for supporting the massive digital transformation across industries. Businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies in Dubai are continuously upgrading their systems to ensure seamless connectivity, data protection, and operational efficiency.
Security solutions have also evolved with the times. As the demand for digital transformation increases, so does the need for reliable security frameworks. From surveillance cameras and access control systems to advanced cybersecurity protocols, organizations are investing heavily in safeguarding their physical and digital environments.
Another significant transformation has taken place in the audio-visual (AV) technology space. Companies are increasingly adopting projectors, video conferencing solutions, and indoor & outdoor LED screens to enhance communication, marketing, and collaboration. In a city like Dubai, where international meetings and global business interactions are common, having high-quality AV setups is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
The educational sector, too, has embraced this wave of modernization. Schools are now equipped with smart boards, interactive flat panels, and school bell solutions to create engaging and efficient learning environments. Web-based and PA system-based school bell solutions are helping schools automate their schedules and improve time management, allowing administrators and teachers to focus more on the students.
Moreover, video conference solutions have become essential in today’s hybrid work and education models. Whether it's for corporate board meetings or virtual classrooms, the ability to connect teams and learners from different parts of the world is now a critical component of modern infrastructure.

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.8.0 – 8 June 2025 – is now available on github, along with MEGAMAP 1.8.0. This version is mostly, but not entirely, about Seattle.
Seattle DOT have dropped a new bike map for 2025/2026, but have chosen to show several incomplete and/or entirely unstarted projects as completed. We respectfully disagree with this decision, as it will direct map users to infrastructure which is not actually present for most or all of this year.
Therefore, we have chosen to stay with Seattle 2023 as our Seattle-area base map. We will take on the additional work of updating it over the next year, continuing work we have already been doing. In addition to not showing incomplete/nonexistent infrastructure, this means we will continue to group “Neighbourhood Greenway” and “Healthy Street” under the same common green colour, rather than separating them into green and blue markings.
(Seattle 2025 breaks them out into greens and blues, but unfortunately at the same intensity, meaning there’s no difference for those with colour vision limitations.)
As additional Seattle projects are completed, we will add them to our maps. Once all projects shown on Seattle 2025 are completed, we will most likely transition to Seattle 2025 as our Seattle base map.
There’s only one change since 1.7.1 for outside Seattle, but it’s big:
Juanita Drive bike lanes are finally open (again) in Juanita! There’s still a little construction on sidewalks, but functionally, they’re done
I’ve been looking forward to that finally being finished since they started work! The bike lane standard is meaningfully higher than it was before. It’s not consistently up to Kenmore’s standard, but it’s a significant and welcome improvement.
Note that sidewalk construction isn’t quite complete, but there’s very, very little left and should not interfere with biking the route.
Updates since 1.7.1 in Seattle include:
1st Ave NW neighbourhood greenway north of Greenwood to Broadview added
S. Walden/Della neighbourhood greenway added
Ashworth Ave mix of neighbourhood greenway and ped/bike shared path added
N. 120th St. neighbourhood greenway from Ashworth Ave to Corliss Ave added
N. 130th St. bike lanes north of Haller Lake added
W. Marginal Way SW bike lanes extended north to 17th Ave SW
6th Ave NW steepness indicator in Fremont corrected
6th Ave NW Neighbourhood Greenway corrected (was marked as bike lane)
Alki Drive/Beach Drive SW Healthy Street in West Seattle added
Maple Leaf Reservoir Neighbourhood Greenway and related ped/bike path added
Pike Street bike lane hillclimb over I-5 updated to reflect upgraded status
21st Ave Greenway/Health Street from Columbia to Yesler added
Greenway/Healthy Street connection between 30th Ave S east of MLK to Mountains-to-Sound Trail added
39th Ave South Greenway/Healthy Street from south of Othello to Kenyon added
One block of Neighbourhood Greenway on 27th Ave NE north of Lake City REMOVED
Several small corrections/adjustments, carrying forward Seattle map corrections/adjustments
Rather than the usual MEGAMAP preview, here’s a comparison between on section of Seattle across the two maps.
Tumblr media
All permalinks continue to work.
If you enjoy these maps and feel like throwing some change at the tip jar, here’s my patreon. Patreon supports get things like pre-sliced printables of the Greater Northshore, and also the completely-uncompressed MEGAMAP, not that the .jpg has much compression in it because it doesn’t.

Why You Should Invest in Natural Diamonds from Ashish Vijay
Tumblr media
When it comes to natural diamonds in Dubai, there’s more than just sparkle — there’s strategy, legacy, and wealth preservation. Dubai is not only a global hub for luxury but also a growing center for smart and sustainable investments. And when we talk about combining beauty with financial foresight, Ashish Vijay diamonds stand out as a timeless choice for both connoisseurs and investors.
I’ve worked in the luxury and investment space long enough to see trends come and go. But natural diamonds? They’re in a league of their own. Especially when you’re buying from someone like Ashish Vijay, whose reputation, ethical standards, and gemstone expertise offer a level of trust that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Let’s dive deep into why investing in natural diamonds in Dubai—especially through Ashish Vijay—is a decision worth every carat.
Schedule Consultation
Dubai: The Emerging Global Capital for Diamond Investment
It’s no secret that diamond investment in Dubai is booming. Thanks to its zero-tax regime, strong financial infrastructure, and central location between East and West, Dubai has positioned itself as the “City of Gold” — and increasingly, the city of natural diamonds.
In fact, Dubai has overtaken Antwerp in diamond trade volume, with the DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) becoming a key player in global diamond trading. It’s no coincidence that Ashish Vijay, a pioneer in the gemstone investment space, has established his empire in this very city.
With government support, secure infrastructure, and robust regulation, buying natural diamonds in Dubai isn’t just easy — it’s smart.
Why Natural Diamonds Are a Long-Term Investment
You may ask: Why invest in diamonds at all?
Simple. Unlike stocks or property, natural diamonds are portable, durable, and have intrinsic value tied to rarity. They’re not just decorative — they’re tangible assets with zero maintenance costs. And over time, their value appreciates, particularly in the case of rare coloured stones, which Ashish Vijay often curates in exclusive auctions.
Tumblr media
Key Reasons to Invest:
Inflation Hedge: Diamonds maintain value over decades, acting as a financial safety net.
Global Demand: As wealth increases globally, demand for luxury and rare gemstones continues to rise.
Non-Correlated Asset: Diamond prices don’t mirror stock market volatility, making them excellent for diversification.
Legacy Wealth: Unlike digital assets, a diamond can be passed down physically — a story wrapped in sparkle.
Ashish Vijay Diamonds: Where Legacy Meets Luxury
If you’re going to invest in natural diamonds in Dubai, why not go to the best?
Ashish Vijay, a globally recognized investor and diamond expert, brings not just inventory — he brings generational expertise and a personal ethos built on transparency, integrity, and quality. As the founder of House of Ashish Vijay, his brands like Meraki Gems, Tiara Gems, and AV Globale have redefined what it means to invest in luxury with purpose.
What sets Ashish Vijay diamonds apart?
Direct Sourcing: Access to rough and polished stones from trusted mines around the world.
Certified Quality: Every diamond comes with top-tier certifications and provenance.
Curated Auctions: Rare gems like the fancy red “Rosa Estrela” sold for over $1.1 million under his guidance.
First-Hand Expertise: Ashish personally selects many of the stones — ensuring quality, rarity, and investment value.
Investing in Gemstones in Dubai: Beyond Just Diamonds
While natural diamonds are the crown jewel, Ashish Vijay also leads the way in investing in gemstones in Dubai, including:
Rubies
Sapphires
Emeralds
Alexandrite
His private collection is a testament to his ability to forecast market trends and acquire stones that later fetch record prices. If you’ve never seen an uncut ruby turn into a radiant centrepiece, visit one of Ashish’s showcases — it’s transformational.
As an investor, you’re not just buying a gem — you’re buying into the future of an asset class with unmatched beauty and liquidity.
Buying Natural Diamonds: What You Need to Know
Tumblr media
1. Certification Always buy diamonds with recognized certifications (GIA, IGI). Ashish Vijay diamonds always come with top-level authentication.
2. Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat (4Cs) Investment-grade diamonds tend to lean toward rare color (think pink, blue, red) and clarity. Cut determines sparkle — a major factor in pricing.
3. Rarity The rarer the diamond (in terms of color or origin), the more likely it is to appreciate over time. Ashish specializes in rare fancy colors, particularly reds and pinks.
4. Buy from Experts Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned investor, buying from someone with real skin in the game makes all the difference. That’s why so many trust Ashish Vijay — because he understands diamonds from mine to market.
First-Hand Insight: A Personal Visit to AV Globale
A few months ago, I had the chance to visit AV Globale in Dubai’s Almas Tower. The experience was something else.
There were private rooms with dazzling displays of uncut stones, high-security labs with expert gemologists examining clarity, and Ashish himself discussing how red diamonds might soon outpace even gold in value.
He doesn’t just sell gemstones — he educates you on how to invest smartly in diamonds, with portfolio diversification, future resale value, and even legacy planning.
And the best part? You’re never treated like just another buyer. It’s a relationship built on trust and shared ambition.
The Role of Sustainability and Ethics in Diamond Investment
One key reason why many modern investors are flocking toward Ashish Vijay diamonds is his commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
In an industry often criticized for opaque practices, Ashish has consistently championed traceable, conflict-free sourcing and transparent operations. With companies like AV Globale working toward sustainable practices and Bliss Foundation supporting philanthropic causes, buying a diamond here feels less like a luxury splurge — and more like a conscious investment.
Final Thoughts: Is Investing in Natural Diamonds from Ashish Vijay Worth It?
Absolutely. When it comes to natural diamonds in Dubai, there’s no better partner than Ashish Vijay. His track record, integrity, and eye for unique investment-grade stones make him the go-to name in the luxury investment space.
Whether you’re building generational wealth, diversifying your portfolio, or simply want to own a piece of timeless beauty, buying natural diamonds from a trusted expert like Ashish Vijay ensures you’re getting more than just a gemstone — you’re investing in a legacy.
