I have watched the movie Blood Diamond and its great that it has reached mainstream audiences the message and awareness of conflict diamonds. Although, it is said that you can ask the origins of the diamonds, it's not easy in other countries, especially in S.E.A, where I'm from. Many of the jewellers purchase from other agents and they won't probably know the diamond origins themselves. Otherwise, the advise of buying synthetic is good too as the technology is so advanced, you can't tell the difference between the real thing and the synthetic! I think this is a great write-up.
