    Diamonds. Superconductors.  The possibilities are amazing. 

    But in a ring?  Big deal.  Boooring. 

    Honestly, I guess they're ok.  But I have NEVER understood why
    people seem to think they're the pinaccle of gemdom.  I suppose it
    may just be due to extremely effective marketing by the family that
    has the vast majority of the world's diamonds under their thumbs.
