What Hacker News says?
I'd recommend everyone read up on "blood diamonds" or "conflict diamonds" as well as the diamond market in general before ever purchasing a diamond for jewelry. I'm guessing most hackers aren't diamond buyers. I recommend everyone read this before buying any computers or electronic gadgets: http://www.johannhari.com/archive/article.php?id=863
