So right about the diamond market, I just read articles in the Atlantic Monthly all about the DeBeers cartel and how there are so many diamonds in the mines the price would drop to nothing if they'd stop controlling the output. Also... the whole notion of every couple needing a diamond engagement ring was their marketing campaign in the first place! They tried to get it going in other countries and some picked it up, some didn't. And the whole diamond eternity ring notion-- they came up with it to use a lot of small diamonds from mines in Russia-- those style rings have a bunch of tiny diamonds instead of one big one. What a manipulation.

The situation with the guy must be torturous. I hate not-knowing more than anything. I'd be driving myself crazy wondering what happened.
