lol NO DOUBT - it is well publicised that the price of diamonds is highly controlled. If people were able to buy in to the real number of diamonds available they'd be a LOT cheaper - but thanks to some shoddy practises at the mines and a tonne of tough muscle, the people on the street get a thin trickle through a limited numnber of sources and pay a premium for these *cough* "rare stones".
and these guys have been in the trickle for 17 years.
