The whole diamond industry is rotten to the core. Even the process of tearing up the ground to get at diamonds is a total waste of time, effort and the planet.

The whole diamond industry is rotten to the core. Even the process of tearing up the ground to get at diamonds is a total waste of time, effort and the planet. Do a google search for "largest hole in the ground" and you'll see what a large diamond mine looks like. That's before we even start to consider blood diamonds.
Do everyone a favor and if you are considering buying a diamond as an engagement ring, have a chat with your significant other and see how they feel about lab created diamonds. They are cheaper and much higher quality and leave everyone happier all round.

- reillyse 12y agoYea, exactly. I'm not suggesting you do it to be cheap and to save money. In fact I'm pretty sure most girls could think of something to do with the couple of grand you save, so why spend it on making people unhappy.
