Diamonds = slave labor, no diamonds for me, thanks.
Plus, who decided diamonds were rare and precious anyway? Everytime I see a DeBeers ad, I want to puke.
Oh, and about the heirloom diamond- I don't have a problem with those, because there's way more meaning behind those than some dinky diamond bought at Friedman's.
Don't ever be a jeweler- it'll ruin you for ANYONE'S jewelry
