Diamonds- a lie covered in blood, cruelty, pollution, well you get the jist: [link]

And I don't think diamonds are pretty, either. Never have. There, I said it!

I think people look better without jewelry, and diamonds have never sat well with me. You know in the show "How it's Made" and they show you the mining processes of say....gold- how huuuuge machines churn up hundreds of tons of pristine alaska wilderness for a few ounces of it to make jewelry? You think THAT's bad-- they won't even show you the processes involved to mine diamonds-- unless you get your kicks from seeing indentured servants, child laborors, and children forced into war. Then I suppose you'd have to pay to see that.

Oh wait, you CAN! [link]

So basically I made this stamp for all the people who dislike diamonds and feel that voicing their dislike would make them seem wierd to others. You're not alone! You're never the only one.

Every year, millions of people worldwide have no signature. You can help these people by making a donation to the =Vynnx Association for the Signature Impaired.

As I am a traditionalist, I proposed to my wife with a diamond ring inherited from my grandmother. Reduce, reuse, recycle. It is a general life principle.

There's also the deBeers monopoly, which is strangely immune to international prosecution. Evil has many faces.

Huh. I had heard of "blood diamonds", but those links definitely gave me more food for thought.

Tell her her finger is prettier than the ring it's sitting on. Score muchly the points. And it'd be true.
:iconghilemear:
Indeed! However, she doesn't wear it since we're married, as the band was very wide. I don't know if I would have gone for a diamond had it not been an heirloom.

The ring will pass down the line so long as the tradition stands, and who knows how long that is? Nothing lasts forever, even the diamonds.

Hell yes! That is so true. I'm glad you did this Min, thank you.

Keep working your ass off and you'll get somewhere!
