That would have to include the 50% of ebay diamonds that look like frozen spit and end up in the back of a sock draw.

Well according to Jewelelegance 85% of the world's diamonds are not suitable for jewelry but these days you can really find a lot of junk obviously ugly looking diamonds sold on ebay by dishonest sellers.

Selling a 1ct diamond for %150 is not disshonest. It is just bottom feeding

I really don't like ugly diamonds no matter how cheap they being sold on ebay. Ugly diamonds with eye visible inclusions are unlucky and very insulting. You will never get compliments from them.

Wow.. I disagree totally.. Inclusions rock.. They are the fingerprint that makes each diamond unique from any other diamond.. Just like a snow flake.. I find IF/F diamonds totally boring..

It is very beautiful and valuable for me, too.
But it take a long time to get it due to the price. *-*

It took me a long time to get diamonds too but I was determined to go for diamonds rather than cubic zirconia (sorry to any cubic zirconia fans but it's not my thing). I was lucky that my engagement ring (and no I didn't get a choice since it was a family heirloom) was diamonds and emeralds. I do love diamonds and they happen to be my birthstone too!
