The Diamond Age

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

There’s an article on Slashdot today about Adia Diamonds, diamond manufacturers. These aren’t artificial diamonds though; Adia diamonds are “physically, chemically and optically identical to an earth-grown mined diamond“. The only differences being that you’re not handing money over to the De Beers cartel and you won’t get blood on your hands.

This is a good time to bring out a couple articles about the reality of the diamond business:
