Imagine valuing your marriage based on how big your diamond is. 😊

People value the weirdest things. Natural diamonds are great for their hardness when doing work with certain tools, but its a human failing that people will kill, marry and die for a sparking stone.

The value of diamonds is all about the power of marketing. How I enjoy hearing about monopolies run like cartels being smashed!

It seems appropriate for Tracy Hall to be abrasive. 😀 Lame jokes aside, he was a very nice chap - generous with his time, and patient with my questions. It was an honor to have met him.

If an engagement ring is 30-60k, yet you can get laid for the price of a pizza and a bottle, what is the true worth of a diamond?
