Gemologists and experts: real or manufactured diamonds?

quote:
diamonds are nearly fraudulent, run by a controlled monopoly

Indeed.

Have never bought one, never will.

Expensive diamonds and fancy weddings, two of humanity's most absurd obsessions and most gauche-pretending-to-be-otherwise expenditures. I flatly refuse to play that game.

Thank goodness it's only led to me losing one partner, thus far. And good riddance.

Why would you want a conflict diamond?
