Snappy, I saw some of that special as well. VERY good. I missed part two and have been waiting for it to re-air.

For that reason there are a lot of people who choose to ONLY buy diamonds on the secondary (vintage) market. All of my diamonds other than my fancy colored are inherited through my family from my great uncle who was a diamond cutter.
Did you see that one of the revenue raisers in the Senate’s health care reform bill is to heavily tax the tanning industry. This is going to drive the cast of Jersey Shore into bankruptcy!

It’s all about the social/economic/political ramifications of mining said diamonds there. There was a great 3 part series the Discovery Channel did on the social/econ/political ramifications of diamond mining in South Africa.
