    Regarding De Beers settlement and "a pot of money," I'll just repeat
    what was in my article, posted recently on Orchid. You don't need an
    intermediary to file a claim. The Jewelers' Vigilance Committee
    offers advice and info on this. Claim amounts will vary greatly but
    for small users (craftspeople), amounts will likewise be small. No
    one is getting back what they paid for diamonds, only, in theory,
    some small percentage that represents the amount over what they
    would have paid for the diamonds if De Beers had not acted in a
    monopolistic fashion. Be aware if someone is trying to turn this into
    the urban legend of tons of money available if you just send out an
    email.
