De Beers has played the diamond market, it's historical fact, not some conspiracy theory.

South Africa just so happens to have easily accessed extinct volcanos and more importanly, a cheap labor force allowed the De Beers syndicate to out compete others.

Actually, Russian should have the most gold and diamonds, given it has the largest landmass...

And believe it or not, American women will compare the karat weight and size of their wedding rings as a measurement to the worth of their husband, hopefully, proving to the other women that their husband is better than their's by the size of the rock.

Don't laught. It's true.
