You must have heard most of the content on PS... but one NYT article brings the facts together nicely.
Funny quotes too
"i] of you>>
Martin Rappaport
"The discounters and Internet sites do not sell just cheap diamonds. The average price for an engagement ring on bluenile.com is close to $5,000 - about twice the national average - and one sold for $257,000 last fall"
Mark Vadon, Blue Nile''s founder
... interestingly, PS''s records do not fall far from that average.
One number seems weird: they say the price of rough has gone up 25% last year (not clear if 2003 or 2004 in text). What are they counting ?
