De Beers convinced everyone that engagement rings were a thing as well.

There is a guy who uses a suction dredge off the coast of Africa to mine diamonds.

De Beers controls of the world's diamond market as they are the largest producer and distributor of diamonds but don't forget that everything have a price and they use their power and "sponsor" a lot of military organizations to bring down governments and install new ones and all this to expand their influence and power in Africa. But because of this a lot of innocent people died... a lot and all this to find easier ways to "wash the diamonds" faster and much easier. It's greed i know... but is so sad what happen because of them!

You heard right diamonds aren't really as rare as you might think that they are. As a matter of fact they are mined almost all over the world. It's all about the demand!!!
