Do you trust the diamond industry?

February 27, 2006, 7:23 pm

I wrote a poem about diamonds recently, and one of the responses was that diamonds have supposedly been regulated as far as how they are produced, for at least a year, maybe more.

And while I found some evidence to support this, there are a few problems remaining, the way I see it. First, how can we be sure that the body that regulates this has the same standards as we do? Second, with corporate abuse of law being what it is today, how can we expect that they will comply? Third, even if governmental authority is the reason for complicance, how is it enforced? If a corporation is found to be lying, do they just pay a fine?

So I am going ahead with this site, and I plan to determine the answers to these questions for myself, and share them with you. The fact that there is a documentary available on the Internet about this that is fairly new, tells me that this problem is not fully resolved… something is rotten in Denmark, and it’s not bad fish…

    and not just because it’s about diamonds….

    Rafael Solano, his back bent, his shoulders crushed by an invisible weight, sat on a boulder in the dry river bed. He lifted his head up slowly. It weighed a ton. He spoke in a low voice, his words almost incomprehensible. He mumbled again to his two friends.

    “I quit.”

    They stopped gathering pebbles and looked at him. “I can’t go on. I don’t believe in it anymore.”

    The sweat glistened on his brow. The brilliant sun had parched his face to a network of fine blood vessels. Dark shadows outlined his eyes.

    He held up a pebble in his hand. “The next one will be a….” [continued]

    I don’t know if I agree about the platinum…

    Because I don’t know how platinum diamonds are mined. But this sounds like a good idea as far as spending less money on a diamond alternative, yes?

    Moissanite and platinum engagement rings are other types of diamond alternative engagement rings that many couples are now choosing. Moissanite is a lab-created stone that looks just like a diamond, but it is a cheaper alternative. It has the same brilliance and hardness of a diamond at a fraction of the cost. If you choose platinum for the metal of the ring, however, you will also be increasing the price.
