    Yep, pawn them.

    I will never wear a diamond unless it's the Superman-squeezing-a-lump-of-coal trick. Fuck an engagement ring. I'd rather receive an engagement laptop or an engagement car payment or an engagement trip to Europe.

    There are 'green' diamonds mined in Canada, from what I understand.

    No diamonds for me either. People should not have to die for my luxuries.

    Even if they weren't exploitative of people, it's still an artificial shortage created by an ultraprofitting cartel. They jack up the prices worse than strip clubs jack up drink prices. I'm all for industrial grade diamonds for technology, but fuck spending ungodly amounts of money for pretty sparklies.

    I think when I do buy my fabulous diamond studs, I'll get Canadian diamonds. That I way I know they are conflict free.

    Yeah, they are controlled and that keeps the market price artificially high.

    But they're so sparkly....

    Sho'nuff. Or Russia. They have a good hand in the diamond trade, as far as sources go.

    NOTHING has real value until someone wants it. Money is worth maybe a quarter of a cent of materials - even for fifties and hundreds. Cows roamed free before people wanted them, bred them and sold them and now they're $100 a calf.

    And I'm not one to talk in this thread. My mum got me Zales diamonds for my birthday. :x But at least my engagement ring is not.

    There are some safe diamonds but I still don't risk it. And engagement rings with diamonds did not become the standard until De Beers launched an advertising campaign in the 20th century. Just like a red Santa Claus and Sweetest Day it is just made up, modern day crap.

    i just watched that last night.

    i have 2 diamonds tattooed behind my ears. they will last forever. ;P

    i would love a diamond ring, but yeah it would have to be non conflict.

    and to think its all the rap hip hop culture that propogated the bling in the first place. bling grills, bling everything. seems like a horrible episode of twilight zone....

    One of the reasons I will insist my future husband buy me fancy cultured diamonds. Not diamonique, not cubic zirconia, but the real deal created right in the lab.

    I read an article about the process several years ago, I think in National Geographic, and most gemologists cannot even tell that they're "fake" since they test positive on a diamond tester. The red flags that make them suspicious though are the deep color saturation (extremely rare) and lack of occlusions (again extremely rare).

    Enjoy!

    OMG, I saw that movie a couple of weeks ago and made me feel horrible. Yeah, I don't want diamonds from ppl killing themselves for it either. I rather receive one from another country too.

    My info could be outdated but... last I was told, "blood diamonds" aka "conflict diamonds" are about 2 to 3 percent of the natural diamonds in the world

    Correct! My partner wants to get me them! They're so pure (100%) that you can tell they're lab made. But they're SUPER cheap. Like... $600 for a 2 karat diamond already in the ring. Hmmmm...

    YOU know they're fake. that's why simulants will never overtake real diamonds. great for play but when someone really wants to blow yer tits off they're going to blind you with the real deal.

    mine came from antwerp... they've always been right out there with their zero-tolerance for conflict diamond policy.

    Apparantly DeBeers is the largest "blood diamond" distributor. So, I say boycott them and shine on, you crazy diamond.
