Anyone who buys "natural" or "real" diamonds is either an idiot or ignorant or possibly both.
Lab created diamonds are more real, have less imperfections, are more beautiful, and dont ruin your financial health.
But, that's not the reason you should buy them. Buying DeBeers diamonds is tantamount to endorsing bloodbath in many African countries. And, knowing that your diamonds didnt kill someone may feel good, at least for most of us.
Buying DeBeers diamond is succumbing to the giant marketting compaign and letting others rule your values and emotions. Sometimes I wonder if we are really not in the Matrix!
Of course if you can read this blog, you can find out the truth yourself. So, hit google and read the arguments from both sides and know what you want.
In the end if you dont work for Debeers et al, you will agree that only an idiot or an ignorant person will buy their diamonds.
