Penetrate advances have made the latest fake diamonds closely imitate the properties of mined diamonds. They cut glass, they refract light into wonderful hearts-and-arrows, and they have excellent fire and brilliance.

All mined diamonds have flaws, birthmarks, and vary in quality. These realities breed ground for a buffet mined diamond fraud that victimizes and robs consumers.

It all starts at the top with the De Beers diamond cartel, which would run afoul of federal anti-trust laws if headquartered in the United States. Diamonds are in fact cheap to produce and would be lower in price if it were not for the global cartel.

No “slave” or child labor used: Diamond mining operations are widespread with horrific conditions and have a long history of dehumanizing humiliating practices. Debt slavery and child labor is common in diamond cutting operations in India, where much of the world’s diamonds are cut and polished.
