Great, since most of the crap is sent over here. If you want a good stone you must go to Amsterdam or Tel Aviv. Since most Americans dont know the difference betweem a good diamond(4 C's)and crap..........

Go to Tiffany's in NYC or Birk's in Toronto. Both are selling Canadian diamonds. And unlike the manufactured trinkets , they're real .

Cultured Diamonds are threatening DeBeers distribution monopoly.


Works for me as long as the cultured diamond has the same fire and sparkle when out on the town.

I understood that but, a first day poster, posts a story that leads off with the US debt and twists into diamonds in Canada and Cultured diamonds? Has a tuna smell.

Not all Canadian diamonds are marked that way. Although those that are marked and certified as to their source . Buy a Canadian one, or buy a blood diamond or a phony one. I really don't care.

They're all just trinkets. Even the $1,000,000 ones.

Yes unless they are used in manufacturing. They are just pretty stones.

Good marketing by the diamond companys have made the market.They have convinced a lot of people to spend money on something just to look at. So be it.

I would rather buy a good firearm then any diamond.
