It would be quite interesting to see a store that sells nothing but conflict diamonds.

Their slogan could be:

"Everything we offer has and continues to contribute to deplorable human suffering."

Then, in the pricing its not just the setting, or the ring or the carat of the stone that determines price, but the actual weight of human misery caused by the stone could be a contributing factor to the price.

"Oh, I know it may seem small but 35 people died to bring me this diamond. Not to mention in addition to the warranty, I get a letter in the mail from a Kenyan Warlord every time he kills someone with guns that he bought with the money from the sale of this diamond. I think thats a really nice touch!"
