I never liked the idea of paying for diamonds, but what sealed the matter for me was how much my wife loved the lab diamond ring I bought her; 20% of the price of a natural diamond and indistinguishable from one without specialized equipment.

The price of diamonds will tank over time more so than it has already.

No mention of the conditions the miners worked in to find it. A disgrace.

Does the miner who found it get any money for finding it?

Who gets to own it?

the diamond is fab but is this really necessary? we need to focus on real issues! also, why do diamonds cost so much when they're just old rocks?
