basically, De Beers the diamond company, got hit by a massive class action lawsuit, for artifically inflating diamond prices....folks, diamonds are relatively common (well, sort of, small ones anyway udner 4 carats), you've all been HAD :tt2:
Last I heard De Beers had allegedly a 10,000 ton stock pile of 'em...
anyway, nice big $135 million to give away to ordinary customers, so if you've bought some expensive diamonds or diamond jewellery in past 13 years or so... ;)
I love gemstones, but am quite happy with artificial ones.
These are mine, about £40 worth, the tiny ones are real aquamarines/garnets, big ones are artificial peridot and artificial aqumarine. :)
