Diamonds

February 10, 2004

Steven Den Beste:

  • diamonds are scarce only because DeBeers buys the surplus and stores them
  • synthetic diamonds are not really all that new, but still hold promise

Anil Dash:

  • 15% of diamonds sold in the United States are funding bloody civil wars in Africa
  • good luck trying to figure out which %15
  • there's a more important reason why you shouldn't buy diamonds: the messages used to sell diamonds are more than slightly misogynist
