    Gaaah...

    Every time I hear about the sleazy, vomit-inducing machinations of the diamond cartel (and particularly the misery and suffering it generates) I am happy that the engagement ring I've been wearing lo these past eighteen years belonged to my husband's great-grandmother.

    If you're single, want diamond jewelry, and would like to piss off the deBeers corporation, buy your cocktail ring at an estate sale.
