Just look at this thread for a litany of other examples for why buying diamonds is a bad idea, independently of the moral issues. It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to point to the low-hanging fruit first (i.e. the stuff that is worth changing on its own merits), when talking about actions with moral implications. "Stop being an American" or "Stop using oil, or any oil product/by-product [I don't own a car but I'm under no illusions that a massive amount of my day-to-day depends on oil]" are a hell of a lot harder to do than "Stop buying diamonds, which by the way makes sense for any of a number of other relatively selfish reasons".
