Diamond ring, wear it on your hand It's gonna tell the world, I'm your only man Diamond ring, diamond ring Baby, you're my everything, diamond ring --Bon Jovi
Did You Know...
It's not possible for a retail customer to tell where a diamond was mined, even with the help of a skilled gemologist. Long ago diamonds were formed under extreme heat and pressure deep in the Earth, then brought near the surface by prehistoric volcanic eruptions.
There is no scientific means to determine a diamond's country of origin. Thus the concern today about "blood diamonds" or "conflict diamonds". The diamond you admire in a shop window may have come through a legitimate channel or may have been sold to finance a civil war. The customer must take the word of the retailer, who hopefully is buying from reputable sources.
