I didn't know there was much controversy about diamonds

But there is more than just the smarmy DeBeers commercials telling us how much we have to spend on them. Topics covered:

It’s just marketing.
Diamonds aren’t rare.
Diamonds have no resale value.
Synthetic diamonds will flood the market.
Moissanite looks just like a diamond.
Who is the ring for, anyway?

and more

I guess I shouldn't feel so bad about the ring I flung into Rock Creek Lake.
