have you seen the biggest diamond found this cenutry?
it was found in Lesotho in August, then it sold for $12.36 million in Antwerp and is expected to fetch more than $20 million once it gets cut into smaller stones
I heard on the news that the stone was to be cut and polished as a single unit. Not to be chopped up into smaller ones. Nice friggin piece of ice there!
Yeah, but women love them for the fact that everyone knows how much they cost... Also the coloured diamonds are getting more popular now... just check the gossip mags!

to be honest, I really have yet to meet any woman that truely likes diamonds, they all say they like them only because their husbands gave some to them, but in reality they really also think they are boring
I also don't surround myself with people that buy things because of the status or price of that object ;)
I never understood why diamonds are so popular, they are clear fucking stones
there are so many more beautiful stones out there
diamonds are so boring
Because De Beers hold 75% or something of the world market for diamonds and they control supply, thus stocking up on diamonds and keeping prices high. If it wasn't for the close-to-monopoly market control they exercise, real diamonds would probably be cheaper than artificially created ones.
Whitehat is for chumps
If you don't do it, somebody else will - true story!

yeah, I know all that.....and btw, they are down to under 50% these days
but I am just talking about the look and shit of a diamond, it has to be the most boring precious stone

Yep. A diamond would just be a random stone if it wasn't for them

It is pretty hard to not encounter those people.... Well done!
Diamonds are basically a status symbol and in this materialistic age love is often displayed with dollars... I'm not saying personally, but I see it every day.
somehow I missed the 'oooh shiny thing' gene that most women have
hahaha, yeah, my wife is the same way
actually, she has that ooohhh shiney gene, but not for diamonds and shit like that, I just bought her a limited edition clear hello kitty pez set, i believe she said "oooohh shiney" when I gave it to her
aaaahhhh, the simple things in life make it worth while ;)
If you buy diamonds you are supporting people and an industry you probably wouldn't want to support if you knew anything about it
you're talking about the "blood diamonds", right?
but then .... I woudn't want to buy anything American because their troops killed thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq, can't really buy anything Chinese because they still torture people, Russian is out of question too - their "involvement" in Chechnya is to say the least questionable, and I shouldn't buy pizza from the shop across because at least 3 bucks will go directly to the South African government and these are the people that wouldn't let me even apply for a job just because I'm white and supporting them would be suicidal, wouldn't it
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
