<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 25523090, member: 114635&quot;]I learned the other day that my friend who owns a jewelry store no longer sells mined diamonds. The synthetics have gotten so inexpensive that that is all he sells as engagement rings. High quality color and clarity stones in the 2+ carat size for a few hundred dollars. Think of all the dealers and investors who have seen their inventories lose orders of magnitude in value. I&#039;m sure the trade journals have covered this but economic impact has to be huge in the mining and cutting centers. Diamonds were always a lousy investment but this level of loss of value is crazy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
