    It’s not as if they’re using diamonds hand-mined by children in Africa or something… That’s the jewelry market. Synthetic diamond is in a ton of stuff, and it’s not really that expensive. The “material” is just carbon.

      Excuse me, but they’re only diamonds if they come from regions with soil drenched in the blood of child workers. From other regions it’s called “sparkling rocks”.
