1. Excellent film.
I am not a diamondy person, but should I ever become one, I will make sure it is a Kimberly Process diamond.

And how do you know, for sure?

4. The DVD should have a documentary on the Kimberly Process
It was started to certify diamonds are not blood diamonds. It isn't totally foolproof, but, if you or a loved one wants to buy diamonds, you can ask for Kimberly Process certification.

It has been a year or so since I saw the dvd, so you may want to watch that documentary so you would know for sure. It was very interesting.

9. It is the name of the process diamonds are put through.
To try to insure they are not blood diamonds. It is a certification process for the diamond.

Did you watch the film on DVD, or TV? There is a pretty long feature about it on the DVD. Since I haven't watched it in a while, I can't remember a lot of it.

5. Blood Diamond is an excellent picture,and
DiCaprio, there is no question, is a true actor. He proved that with THE AVIATOR and THE DEPARTED.

10. That movie (and subs. research) was the reason I refused a diamond for my engagement ring
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 09:30 AM by janesez
And I'll never own another diamond, either.

However, I don't think I did too badly with my beautiful pink sapphire engagement ring :) :

11. That's pretty!
And...nice work! I always wonder about this diamond nonsense, but figure we just have to suck it up and do it because girls like them. Way to buck the trend. :toast:
