> Do you know what a 7-carat diamond looks like? It’s what Ben Affleck gave to Jennifer Garner. It’s not the lost earring you linked to.

I also know artificial diamonds can be crafted at even larger carats that are indistuinguishable from real diamonds. If you need a link, lemme sell you this 50 carat diamond first.
