I have one and it's exquisite. My husband had originally proposed with a dull, heart-shaped blood-diamond that cost him about 10k. I think he could tell that I didn't like it, and told me it could be returned.
I felt bad for not liking the first, but worse about the thought of some poor lil kid digging it up in Africa. We found a synthetic diamond that is PERFECT and glitters like crazy. I'm extremely happy with my synthetic diamond ring. It's the prettiest piece of jewelry that I've ever owned. Highly recommended
I agree diamonds are dumb and overpriced when you can get a better result from moissanite or lab grown.
That said, I’m curious why you assume it’s a blood diamond? Conflict diamonds only account for ~5% of all diamonds in the trade. Russia and Canada combined account for >50% of all rough diamonds in the industry.
Idk, I'm an x-South African so call it guilt?
Yeah, moissanite is more brilliant and made form SiC which I think is really cool from an electronics standpoint.
