Watching "Nothing Lasts Forever" very good. My husband who was a goldsmith/jeweler used to laugh at the idea of diamonds - such a scam. Too bad so much evil follows on all the money involved. #DeBeers $Diamonds #NothingLastsForever $Netflix

If you think that De Beers is an evil company and if you’ve seen the Adam Ruins Everything sketch about the scam of diamond engagement rings 💍 and enjoyed it, then Showtime’s new documentary Nothing Lasts Forever would be right up your alley.

Netflix picked this film for streaming and I really enjoyed it. And jewelry designer Aja Raden is my spirit animal. 💎
