    You'll remember I'm not particularly partial to diamonds, and said
    as much in my post. But you're wrong if you are thinking that they
    still control the vast majority of the world's diamonds. They now
    control less than 50%, which doesn't qualify as "vast majority."
    Unfortunately for diamond fanciers, that hasn't translated to a
    decrease in diamond prices. In fact, prices have never been higher.
    Increased popularity of synthetics might drive it down, though.
