also a reminder that diamonds aren't really very rare at all and only fetch such high prices because the supply is artificially limited by hoarding them.

I tell people this but they never believe me.

Russia is full of diamonds and they could easily flood the market and cause a massive drop in price, but they don't.

heh, i remember a few years ago when the press was running articles about how much cheaper and more efficient the manufacture of artificial diamonds had become, and they detailed one manufacturer who had actually received written death threats from anonymous representatives of diamond companies like debeers

because the flaws in diamonds represent the flaws in your significant other but how you love them anyway :h::h::h:

there was a documentary on discovery channel or something, and they showed the big-rear end machines they used to turn coal and poo poo into diamonds, and those things looked pretty authentic to me.

its funny too, because even before i became jaded and cynical i thought that de beers was an evil company

i doubt you'll be able to get any, every advertisement (IT CAN ONLY BE JARED) for a diamond store i hear is all about "WE HAVE ONLY REAL DIAMONDS, NOT THOSE FAKE IMITATION CRAP."

also the documentary was filmed in some foreign country called czechistanissialia or something

i remember the gbs thread about diamonds, and people really hated the idea of people not buying diamonds for their ladies because it meant you were cheap. when people explained why de beers is evil, I still remember a lot of people coming up with the usual. I WILL BUY WHAT I WANT, ITS MY MONEY
