17. I think they're very pretty, but for ethical reasons, I won't wear them...

Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 08:01 AM by Debbi801

I have no problem wearing a CZ though. :-) Same look, a fraction of the cost, and no one got killed or mamed mining it.

Every time I see one of those diamond commercials on TV, especially the one with the woman who gets the diamond and starts whispering "I love this man," I want to gag. Has it occurred to anyone how shallow this is? And what happens if the man can't afford to save 2 months of his salary for a sparkly thing? Does that automatically mean that he should be dumped? I find the whole thing absurd. Another reason why I won't wear one.
