How sad and ironic that diamonds are considered a symbol of love when they are so often a memento of war, pain, slavery, and death.
Those who can’t stand to consider a life without the bling may want to check out the friendly alternative of man-made diamonds. I guess we all know what the chemists got their honeys for v-day this year.
By the way something, A diamond is just glorified, less structurally stable graphite. Give me a pencil on a ring any day.

diamonds are forever
they wont leave in the night
i have no fear that they might
desert me...
it is so sad and true that these simple rocks are horded by a select group and then sold for outrageous sums of money. they are a symbol of status, but they are just about as common as glass. its pathetic, thank you capitalism, such a beautiful world you have created.
just for listening pleasure, kanye west has a song about sierra leon on his most recent album, check it!
I put up a link to the Kanye West song for those who care to stream it. I said stream.
thanks for the song, guys.
please join me in pioneering a new fashion trend: let's replace "a diamond is forever" with "GIVE GRAPHITE". nothing says loving like a pair of pencil earrings.
I don't see the purpose of insanely expensive jewelry. As long as it looks nice I don't care how much it costs.
i couldn't agree more, bluebutterfly.
