Diamonds are a rip off and are very common in reality. De Bears (spelling?) controls the market and simply doesn't allow them to become common at retail. Additionally a very large segment go to Israel for cutting, so I simply don't buy them anyways.

Very common? Talk about hyperbole.

Diamonds were always extremely valuable. For how long have this De Bears family controlled the diamond market, and are they Jews?
