Diamonds in abundance at the SAG Awards

The 13th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards ceremony was a test case for the impact of the recent public discussion on Hollywood’s A-list celebrities. With Tinsel Town and one of its major studios, Warner Brothers, voicing criticism of the diamond industry, last night it was a display of confidence in the value of diamonds.
