I bought a nice diamond necklace for my girlfriend 5-6 years ago and she's had it on ONE single time. I'm never doing that again. If I ever again decide to waste 8000 dollars on something like that I might aswell give the money to a homeless and tell him to watch over them while I'm gone.

DWB · 05-15-2008, 01:40 AM

I've been hip to the diamond trade for many years now. Never bought one, never will.

I decided a long time ago never to buy a diamond. It's interesting how well known the whole "scam" is and yet the trade continues unaffected.

Never bought a diamond
just can't see paying that kind of money for a polished rock

if you dont know why diamonds are so high priced you have to be pretty stupid..

Isn't it a bit like when the canadians were killing (baby?) seals so rich womén can wear them? -Everyone knows what's going on yet we (best known as the generations who don't care about anything) just do nothing.

The easiest way to stop it would be to not buy it.

GAMEFINEST · 05-15-2008, 07:54 AM

lol i am not wasting couple of thousand dollars on a small rock...i can buy couple of premium domains for that amount or adult blog sites

Yeah it is, but not much you can do about it, except maybe raise awareness. You'd think that whoever is "rich" enough to buy decent quality diamonds would have enough brains to see through it and not buy it. I guess ignorance is bliss....

tiger · 05-15-2008, 09:37 AM

Synthetic diamonds are just as good and cost a fraction of real diamonds.

my wedding band has a single 3/4 carat diamond, and my wifs has a 1.5 and then another 1.5 in small stones.

Everything has a price.

I'll probably buy a cubic zirconia or synthetic diamond.

What do you mean 'were' killing? They still get clubbed to death in large numbers every year.

The morale is don't fuck with Canadians, we'll beat your ass with a big stick.

i don't understand why they don't just shoot them, or taze them

gleem · 05-15-2008, 04:17 PM

I just popped a wad on a killer high end diamond for my fiancee' damn all of you for making me watch this post purchase!!!

crockett · 05-15-2008, 05:59 PM

Watching now pretty interesting but as you said most likely have a general idea of what's going on.

One thing to think about is the fact the whole idea about "blood diamonds" could be a scam by De Beers. Sure there is of course fighting and dieing going on in Africa but it's not because of diamonds. Diamonds are just a way they pay for stuff because they have artificial worth. If there was no artificial worth there would be no blood diamond.

However think of whole movement behind not buying blood diamonds.. They want you to make sure your diamonds are certified ect..ect. Well who does buying certified diamond benefit? The ones that control them of course. Who controls them? De Beers..

What better way to keep the prices up and the idea that they are rare than to imply people die for them and you must make sure the diamonds you buy have no blood on them.

Think about it..it's all about controlling the market.

Ya, 22 bullets don't cost much. Just one bullet to the back of the head would probably do it without looking so horrible in the eyes of the rest of the world. I guess margins must be pretty slim on those seal skins if they can't factor in the price of a Ruger and a box of bullets to their budget.

To be honest, I bet they just get a kick out of beating something to death.

Jace · 05-15-2008, 06:13 PM

we never buy diamonds, my wife hates them anyway, in all honesty they are the most boring of all the stones....clear and shiney

i mean come on, which is prettier?

dav3 · 05-15-2008, 06:16 PM

I think I watched a doc. about this a year or so ago. If I recall correctly, wasn't the whole thing about a diamond on an engagement ring created just a few decades ago, buy the people who control the diamond trade?

Luckily, my gf isn't caught up in trivial things like this.

Yup...the most fucked up part. (or one of the most fucked up parts)

During WW2, DeBeers wouldn't even come off of some industrial stones for the U.S. war machine citing "we might sell them off after the war & drop the market price".

Oracle Porn thats a very bad comparison.

Sapphires, emeralds, and especially rubies are much more rare than a diamond ever could be. Personally I am for rubies.

maybe the puertorican girls know this already

Spelling?

anyway if you want to buy diamonds cheapest place I ever found was on ebay. Unless you want a perfect clairty no flaws diamond then go to the store.
