Less than $200
6% of the retail price

Mixed-stones jewelry
$200 or more
14.5% of the retail price

Diamonds-only jewelry
Less than $200
10.5% of the retail price

Diamonds-only jewelry
$200 to $999
27.5% of the retail price

Diamonds-only jewelry
$1,000 to $5,499
32% of the retail price

Diamonds-only jewelry
$5,500 to $9,999
38.5% of the retail price

Any and all

Finally a class action lawsuit where I can say in all earnesty,

Lawyers: 1
DeBeers: 0




LAWYERS FTMFGDW!!! Way to stick it to the diamond industry!

I'm happy lawyers will be getting 1/3 of it.


Diamonds FTL... if you heat up a diamond and a cubic zirconia, the diamond will vaporize into CO2 but the CZ is forever
