Today's surveys have revealed that only 52% of women want the "real thing". Consumers are opting for less expensive diamond simulants, and have deep growing concerns about conflict/blood diamonds, the exploitation of child slave labor in India's diamond cutting operations. Moreover, consumers are sick and tired of the DeBeers Diamond Cartel using its monopoly position to inflate prices "they are sick and tired of being manipulated" often being sold flawed or "enhanced" stones by a jewelry store at the emotional time of a purchase, especially in the case of engagement rings.

Take two solitaire engagement rings with identical solid gold settings, each with one 3 carat round cut center stone, one flawless synthetic and one a natural mined diamond of good but not excellent quality. The ring with the synthetic stone will retail for about $600. The ring with the natural stone will sell to the consumer for about $40,000. The difference is an astounding $39,400 in savings realized by the couple by going with a stone that cannot be distinguished without the aid of equipment. $39,400 that will be much better put to use and invested in a newly married couple's own home, an intelligent choice that will surely "enshrine core human values and emotions"! |
