blood diamonds

Slang for conflict diamonds.
Blood diamonds are used to fund the rebel groups, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). These groups terrorize the peoples of Angola and Sierra Leone. Murder and mutilation are the trade marks of these groups. Most famous for chopping off hands, arms or legs of small children.

blood diamonds

Aslo 'Conflict gemstones': the illegal diamond trade in Africa by rebel fighters who purchase their weapons by selling these 'blood diamonds' to kill their own people.

New, 'conflict-free' diamond bourses are established now to make sure no diamonds are going to be sold for guns, thanks to something called the 'Kimberley Process' (named after the 2000 meeting of major diamond-producing countries in Kimberley, South Africa), that issue KPCS (Kimberley Process Certification Scheme) certificates and offer other 'ethical alternatives' for those who lost their jobs as a result.
Blood diamonds are common in countries like Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia. Other conflict gemstones are emeralds alternatively known as 'blood emeralds' in Colombia.

Blood Diamond Bride

Any engaged, or recently married woman who wears a diamond ring that comes from the De Beers Corporation. These diamonds are probably bought from human rights violating countries that are waging war against peaceful neighbors.

End note: But then again, it's only six degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon!
A lot of people paid with their lives so she can wear that ring, I bet that she doesn't know her status as a blood diamond bride.
