man made diamonds
Ordin asked:


Enough exist for every man woman and child on earth to have a cupful.
In other words we only have high prices because DeBeers (much like other industries ex. OPEC) controls world supply. Isn’t it time we stop giving money to a company that built its empire on slave labor and violent conflict (although they have actually taken steps to improve this)?

PS. A man made diamond (NOT a CZ but literally the same exact material….its not LIKE a diamond it IS a diamond) is now about 1/3 - 1/4 the price and the difference? Man made diamonds are “too perfect” :-)
