Why do Americans covet Diamonds? is a study by University of Arkansas Sociologists. The study involves conflict diamonds, here's an expert:
Researchers at the University of Arkansas say women who received diamonds this Valentine's Day may have gotten more - and less - than what they bargained for. In a study examining the social value of this coveted stone, UA sociologists declare that a diamond's worth has become largely symbolic. They also assert that cultural symbolism hardly justifies the political and personal atrocities committed by portions of the diamond industry.
