Did you purchase a diamond between between January 1, 1994 and March 31, 2006? I would really hope you didn’t, but, if you did then say hello to Mr. class action lawsuit against DeBeers for price fixing!
WOOOHOOO!!!
Info here.
And for a little fun, a straight-to-the-point list of why you should never buy or accept diamonds from anyone, EVER. You can find that list here.
If that image isn’t enough to convince you, check out this photo essay: A Trail of Diamonds: Photographs by Kadir van Lohuizen in Foreign Policy Magazine
Hahaha, I love that photo. I miss you (but you didn’t miss much on Friday!)!!
Sorry about Friday. You’ll have to fill me in!
