Diamonds //, just randomosity Options

So my fiance and I were watching the Diamonds Are Forever music video (by Kanye) and he asked me, that if I was given a diamond necklace, and I knew where it had came from, how children had slaved over mining it, would I still wear the necklace?

I actually thought over it, but I couldn't answer.


So, same question. Would you buy a diamond necklace (or watch, whatever) if you knew that children had been through so much pain mining it?

I'm so glad someone brought this up.

The deBeers company, the company which is the largest distributor of diamonds, is one of the most greedy and heartless organizations in the world. the deBeers company has been artificially raising the price of diamonds by discsouraging the resale of used diamonds. They have been sued in the past and are notorious for starting wars between warlords over diamonds. They are particularly worried now that scientists have found a way to make artificial diamonds in large quantities.
