Before you go out and buy a diamond, look up Diamound wars, or conflit diamonds on the web, see where they're coming from, and what they are doing.

there are enough diamonds to shower everyone who wants them in diamonds. They are mined then held from the market to deliberately keep the price high.

Not my problem - its their governments. They should be regulating the activities of mining and marketing, and shouldn't be a guilt trip for anyone who buys one. I know a lot of you will disagree or even get angry with my answer, but at least I am not lying or being phony about buying a diamond. Hell if my wife pressures me enough or entice me - I may be headed to the Jewelery Store right now ! Diamonds are a woman's best friend - what happened to that saying ? Or do people become closet diamond buyers, sorry even the gas you use has the same drawbacks. Its no different!

With that mentality, you might as well stop driving a car and wearing 90% of your clothes.
The sad fact is that everything sweet in western society comes at tremendous expense to people in the third world. I wish we were better humans and would do without any of those things, but selflessness was never one of our strong qualities.

Canadian mined diamonds are in much demand due to the "blood diamond" theory. They are exquisite and unique.
