Hey Glenn, does it bother you that all the diamonds in the world come from a company that has been banned from doing business on American shores? I mean, flying to london twice a year to get your supply must be a royal pain. KIS, De Beers has 80% of the world market. That is close enough to a monopoly for me. I really do not mind traveling if it is not overdone. Personally, I would have liked the diamonds made by the General Electric plasma division. Perfect diamonds up to the size of a walnut, in any color you want. Strangely enough, GE suddenly cancelled that division, and all the former employees retired as millionaires. On PBS special, a reporter tried to interview the head of the defunt division, but he just sped away in his jaguar. I can't say I know what happened here but the link below you might find of interest. national-jeweler.com
