All over a gem

When he proposed to his girlfriend, Tom Zoellner gave what is expected of every American man--a diamond engagement ring. But when the relationship broke apart, he was left with a used diamond that began to haunt him. His obsession carried him around the globe; from the "blood diamond" rings of Africa; to the sweltering polishing factories of India; to mines above the Arctic Circle; to illegal diggings in Brazil; to the London headquarters of De Beers, the secretive global colossus that has dominated the industry for more than a century and permanently carved the phrase "A diamond is forever" on the psyche. world's most unyielding gem.

The diamond haunts him and he wonders if the diamond is a blood diamond. Many of the diamonds are blood diamonds and this would also make me wonder as well. Once i get my engagement ring I will question and wonder if my diamond is a blood diamond or not. The symbol of love could cause a family to get torn apart while to others mean the world by it.
