me. What I was saying was, synthetic diamonds are NOW being made in gem quality, and that should make "investing" in diamonds (i.e., buying them in the hope that their value will increase or at least hold its own) foolish.
I agree 100% Lan on this whole diamond business. Has anyone tried to sell a diamond? I hear that in reality they really don't hold value despite what the jeweler who sold it to you says. Or perhaps I should say they don't hold it compared to the retail price. But with the advances in materials technology I wouldn't be too sure they would hold their non-retail value either. Gemesis is doing neat stuff. Anyone here read "The Diamond Age"? Perhaps it really is coming. :)
