I would like to have this diamond. I would bathe it in the sweat of a dozen African miners, then wipe it clean on the fur coat of a scornful heiress. Then I would drag it through the dust of a starving Ethiopian village and rinse it in the tears of a Rwandan refugee. I'd polish it with the withered, crumbling silk from a drought-ruined western corn harvest and dip it in the first menstrual blood of a Phillipino child prostitute. I'd let it sit for seven days in the stifling air of Mexico City, wrap it in the torn blouse of an Alaskan rape victim, and then, finally, would feel good about selling it for profit.

I'm going to sell mine and waste it all on hookers and blow.

I hope the man-made diamond growing technology gets much better in the next few years.

Man made diamonds defeat the whole purpose, which is to make a man sell his dick and balls and spend it on his girlfriend to prove his love.

Definitely a blood diamond.

I would never purchase a real diamond. It is sad that our media isnt reporting anything out of those sad places where those diamonds are mined, we would be appalled at even thinking of buying a real diamond.

May this industry go down in the pits, where it belongs.

The technology is already there. Most industrial diamonds (for drilling, sharpening, etc.) are synthetic. The diamond people are throwing shiat-fits and preparing advertising about "real" diamonds, but they admit that only a trained jeweler with magnification can tell the difference... and that's because artificial diamonds contain fewer and smaller flaws than natural ones.

Look up "carbon vapor deposition" and read for yourself.

Even under stringent Fark standards, does this qualify as somewhat ironic?

Someone wore a 100 grand + one to an MTV awards show a few years back. Of course this was before Leonardo DiCaprio made a film about it, so his ignorance might be excused.

Yeah we need man-made diamonds so those Africans can lose their crappy mining jobs and go back to being investment bankers and electrical engineers

"Blood diamonds" aren't about shafting the poor Africans out of work. The mines aren't exactly helping them prosper - they'd be poor either way. African diamond production often supports the warlords. Stop the production and their funding slows, meaning that it becomes more difficult for things like Rwanda to happen.

Most jewelry stores will sell you a diamond from wherever you choose. I will be buying a ring soon and it is important to me that I buy a ring from Canada. I will pay a lot for it, but I'm old-fashioned that way, I suppose.

I wonder what the actual value of a diamond would be if De Beers and the other diamond houses released the millions of stones they had locked up in vaults to inflate the price.

If you want to buy the wife a ring, sell her a cheap fake rock and hope she knows nothing about jewelry and then claim it cost you $2000 instead of fifteen bucks.

After it's cut it will look almost indistinguishable from a cubic zirconia of the same size. Except for the flaws in the diamond.

I believe that's a very short-sighted view of what Africa is capable of. Once they get rid of the despots and internal racism, they'll be unstoppable. The continent if FULL of riches!
