I love this, because it captures my feelings about diamonds exactly. Not even getting into the political or economic issues with the diamond industry, this video brutally and perfectly mocks the idiotic-yet-frighteningly-successful marketing strategy of the diamond industry.

I like silver, sapphires and emeralds. Because I think they are pretty. I don’t think my value as a person, a woman, or a potential life mate can or should be equated to a gemstone. I think that’s demeaning – to me.
