    I agree diamonds are dumb and overpriced when you can get a better result from moissanite or lab grown.

    That said, I’m curious why you assume it’s a blood diamond? Conflict diamonds only account for ~5% of all diamonds in the trade. Russia and Canada combined account for >50% of all rough diamonds in the industry.

      Yeah, moissanite is more brilliant and made form SiC which I think is really cool from an electronics standpoint.
