Everything Diamonds . . .

Quote from Steve Tvardek:

very interesting thread, makes me a little annoyed that I just dropped 13k on an engagement ring

It's too bad the gold setting is worth more than the stone.

But then again, I never spend more than a grand on my hookers.

Quote from bsmeter:

Diamonds are over priced rocks solely because one company ( DeBeers ) controls 90% of the distribution and most of the mining. If you know where to look you can buy similar quality Diamonds for 1/100 the price that DeBeers whole sales them for to the distributors.

Where would you recommend to look for?
