And a hefty gold ring to put it on, with gold from Anglo-American. Then the gold price goes up, the JSE share prices go up, and we're all happy.
Also, none of De Beers diamonds come from 'conflict' areas - most still come from South Africa, and a lot come from Botswana. That's why they burn the DB logo onto it, to identify them.
And the miners here are not oppressed - maby the living conditions aren't so good, but at least they have a job. Most of the mining is automatic, with the silt being dredged up and sorted by machine using xrays and image processing.
And I woudn't buy Canadian diamonds with polar bears on them - they are probably wiping out the bears habitat when they mine them.
