There is some truth to that. Nobody every thinks about the horrible hardship that goes into mining the raw diamonds over there. All they think about is how pretty it is and/or how big a baller they are for buying it. Sadly, some of those people in Africa (and other parts of the world) are working in slave labor camps to get these stones.
I don't wear gold or diamonds... or buy it because of those exact reasons. Though as one person living in the Midwest I really can't do much to stop it all but I'll be dammed if I will support it. That's the least I can do.
