Question

Would you by a diamond if you knew it was an illegal blood diamond?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

YES

Answer 3

Of course not. I don't think that actually there are many people who would, because illegal or not, their price is still too high for most. The trouble is, diamonds have well known channels of trade and the dealers usually do know their origin. The end customer doesn't.

Would you buy a pair of Nike if you knew that they were made by child labor? Would you buy a Kia if you knew that the workers at the plant were paid slave wages? Everything is relative, If noone bought blood diamonds noone would sell them.

Talk about oppression and slavery  in the congo for coltan.

Answer 9

For the same reason, that a person would buy a Rolex watch on the street for $10 instead of paying retail for $1,000.  To have the material possession.  If you could buy a steak for $1.00, would you pass it up, knowing that the average steak costs $10.00?  If a bottle of wine could be had for $5, would you pay $25?  No, of course not.  Would you bother to find out all of the things associated with the less expensive item?  No, you'd be laughing all the way home, on how wonderful a deal you made.  Greed is your answer.

Answer 10

I cant believe I just raed an answer on here asking what was an illegal blood diamond, lol.  People need to start reading more about what's happening in the world and less about Hollywood.

To answer your question, no, never have and never will.

Answer 11

To me that is like asking if I would by a dead body to wear on my finger.  No, I would not buy it if I knew it was illegal.

Answer 12

No. Not even if is free. I would never buy any material thing that cost somebody's life.

Answer 13

No one would knowingly buy a conflict diamond. That's why the smuggler hide the origin. This has been going on for decades. If the demand for diamonds had dropped, there would had been fewer limbs lost.

Answer 14

The word is "buy" a diamond.  No, I would not buy any diamond.  They are all grossly over priced.  As jewelry, they serve no useful purpose.
