Diamonds revisited

Okay, Oprah told me the real scoop.

Apparently even in Sierra Leone, Conflict free diamonds have become the norm and less than one percent of diamonds sold on the market are blood diamonds.

There's a bill call the Kimberly act that is international in scope and is a self-regulated agreement by jewelers to not use conflict diamonds.

If you're in the market to buy a new diamond, you don't have to go to Canada or Arkansas, (as I previously had thought) but you can insist on a Conflict free diamond. (apparently there are certificates or something like that)

Peace out.
