According to Buy a diamond? Get a refund in MSN.com, purchases of diamonds or diamond jewelry between January 1, 1994 and March 31, 2006 may be eligible for a payment from a settlement with De Beers.

For details, see the Diamond Class Action Settlement site for information on eligibility and on filing a claim.
