But after one glance at these 'blood diamond/clean diamond' bracelets I can tell I will be buying a couple of these. I love the red, it's a gorgeous red. Maybe it's because I liked the movie so much but I do want to spread the awareness of conflict diamond. I have always disliked these bracelets, I thought they couldn’t look worse.

Like all the the other messages this one I hope will SPEAK to people and maybe help challenge those people that want to be the change they want to see in the world. Yes that is a quote by Ghandi..Why are we letting people die for a piece of jewlery that is supposed to symolize LOVE? I think it is a great idea and has the potential of bringing back the real meaning of these precious stones! A bracelet ingraved with a message that in only time will die out.

Canada's northern terrotories are producing diamonds that are not only conflict free, but provide lots of jobs in an area that traditionally has high unemployment.

It was the most powerful film I have seen. I am ashamed at how ignorant I was on third world issues. I have three daughters and I want them to be more aware. The torture these children go through to just make it through a day is so profound in the film. The one thing I took away from it, is some people put too much on their items rather than their children. In this movie it showed that nothing meant more to this man than his children. You walk away from the film with an awareness and a message to love your children more than your things. Buy the bracelet and support this cause. I just went to see the movie on Saturday.

A pin is nice too to wear, but who likes poking their favourite shirts? Maybe these bracelettes just need to made out of other material, something more long-lasting. But I'd buy this one.

Since these bracelets were announced, we have been swamped with orders. These orders have been coming in from around the US as well as Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Whether people are buying them to support our work or because they like the film, we at Amnesy are very grateful to the public and to People.com. With it's millions of readers, the message about the bracelets, the film and our work will reach international community. I am a Director at Amnesty International in Los Angeles.

No diamonds are guarenteed to be conflict free - certification or no. I think that asking the people who want your sale whether or not their diamonds are conflict free is half-brained.

I like that Lance Armstrong left a mark on the rubber-bracelet fashion world raising cancer awareness. There's nothing wrong with that though. Good idea.

I already own four! It is excellent that people like Djimon Hounsou are working for such an important cause. It is also great that he stars in a movie that will support the end to blood diamonds. I have already seen "Blood Diamond" and I encourage you to do the same. It was completely moving and truly will change your whole outlook.
