Beginning Metalsmithing class this week and we are going to be doing a project on Blood Diamonds so I was researching and found this really striking poster that asks "What did you pay for those diamonds" and really juxtaposes the images of the beauty of the diamond and their meaning to the buyers as opposed to the image of what it took to acquire them.
The other photo is of the huge conflict free Lesotho Promise, a 603 carat white diamond that was found in this century and was just recently sold for 12.36 million.
Because we'll be studying conflict diamonds in class, I decided to rent Blood Diamond a second time. It's a very strong and emotional movie not to mention Leonardo Dicaprio has an amazing African accent as well.
