What she wears on her finger has no connection, Old Mine cut et al.

Apparently she doesn’t wear any leather, etc. Let’s hope something good happens at the Oscars. She is so deserving of recognition.

We’ve got to start somewhere, and a high profile celebrity who lives and advocates eco-friendly ways is setting up the stepping stones for others to follow.

These diamonds were mined and cut over a hundred years ago when European colonialism was still dominant in Africa, including South Africa and the Congo. Native Africans who were involved in mining these stones were not treated so well by their European bosses. And “conflicts” were many – just with different “players” than in more recent times in places like Sierra Leone and Angola.
