Reply #9: I have a few small pieces of diamond jewelry - family things - [View All]

and I'm sure no one asked if they were 'conflict free' - probably didn't even know it was an issue.

I think diamonds can be lovely - as you say, KC2, the pink ones, or some of the ones that are notable for some reason, but I'd never buy any that were 'tainted' - they would HAVE to be conflict free.

I also get irritated by falsely-inflated markets, and diamonds are certainly not as rare as their prices would suggest. So I'd probably never buy one, or ask for it. Seems too artificial - buying into greed, artifice, and crazy marketing.
