Sure with anything except diamonds. The true value of diamonds is that they're essentially worthless. They're incredibly common, but since DeBeers controls almost all the diamond mines in the world the supplies are completely controlled. Don't believe me? Think of how much carbon is bound up in the world between plants, animals, coal, oil and other things. Now imagine how much of that found its way underground with the dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Imagine how much of that turned into diamonds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Will]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2007 12:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[its very different, you have to admit. i'll always prefer the polished look, but the pictured ring is really cool too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[interesting]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 2:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nothing sparkles like a well cut,polished, faceted diamond.

Debeers controls the pricing absolutely and has been very successful making women think that they all have to have diamonds to be happy. If you need one so bad get a cubic zirconia. They are very well made and who is going to tell the difference? Who cares! (By the way, I'm a woman and yes, I can very well afford them) It is very sick to think how we have all been brain-washed!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nancy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[So do little slave boys have to dig for these?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kellen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 3:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[How many slaves have to dig for this one?

Not only is it ugly, I bet it costs a mint! I agree with Will's comment. Yes, I do have diamonds. They are family heirlooms. Other than that, I prefer emeralds, rubies and sapphires to look at.

No, I do not wear or own conflict diamonds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sharanne Wick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 4:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[having worked for Tiffany & Co. years ago, I can say this:<br>diamonds are worth only what the buyer is prepared to pay. When a superb cut combines with a superb stone, there is a certain beauty revealed. And many people are prepared to pay well for this beauty.<br><br>One afternoon, I saw a 100+ carat emerald cut stone being placed in the Window. I was staring at it, when the fellow inside walked out. "Ugly, isn't it"<br>I agreed. Then he said "but, someone will give us over $500,000 for it. <br>As I said, it's all in what people will pay.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hblanthorn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 4:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[has anyone ever seen the movie ' Blood Diamond'? it was a great movie in that it showed really what goes into gettin a "beautiful stone" ofcourse i want the most expensive rock on my finger when i say 'i do' but when i saw that movie... i dont want to contribute to something like that. all that 'rough diamond' is is a way to earn more money. someone will think it is amazing and pay what ever is asked for it.. and god knows its going to be a lot!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Funk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 2nd 2007 4:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Rough Diamonds Becoming More Popular In Jewelry]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2007/07/29/rough-diamonds-becoming-more-popular-in-jewelry/</guid><description><![CDATA[The stone is never as important as the thought put into the gift, or the work put into the art.
