Not real sure of the particulars; but during the "Ice Truckers" show on Discovery it seemed that all the Canadian mines had De Beers signs on the front of the mine. So, I'm just sayin', maybe wrong.

Whatever you do, don't buy into that 2 months salary thing. That's pure marketing. I still say go with sapphire. It'll cover that "...something blue..." bit. Oh yeah, and man-made diamonds avoid the ethical dilemma and count for "...something new...".
