Which is why you should not buy diamonds.

One reason why.

I've been tempted to try making them at home since about 2007, but for some reason all the different people I've lived with since then have objected to me running a lightly modified microwave oven continuously for a month at a time, with a few holes in the heating cavity so I can install an inverted pyrex bowl and pipes to connect it to a low-pressure methane supply system…

But when you meet that person who is totally into it, they are gonna be iced out the wazoo in custom made bling.
