A diamond manufactured becomes a product like any other, an iPhone, a TV, whatever.

There is something more profound with holding a stone that was forged deep in the Earth and somehow mined from there, too, even if chemically it's the exact same thing.

I'm too utilitarian to see the distinction, but I guess that feeling is valid in others.

The cost of mined diamonds will get driven down nonetheless. I'm in favour of this.
