Meh, at least the blood diamond thing is dying fast and hard. Young people don't give two shits about real diamonds, and neither do some of us old farts.

Hell, my finance and I are both 52 and the question of "real" diamonds never even came into play. We just got on Etsy and picked a couple of dope rings that we loved, ~$500 for both.

Disclaimer: Her ring appears to have real diamonds, but they're tiny. For $260, for that ring, I'd say the price of diamonds has tanked.
