DeBeers, the diamond monopoly, acted like one, and got caught doing it. It turns out, if you purchased any jewelery from the company, you may be entitled to a rebate on your dazzler. Individuals can make a claim before March 19 for part of the $295 million settlement. DeBeers is still denying any wrongdoing; they were charged with anticompetitive acts as well as false and misleading advertising. Eligible customers include anyone who purchased a diamond between January 1994 and March 31, 2006. That means on a $2000 ring, customers could get back up to $640. Details at DiamondsClassAction.com  John Maher, the plaintiffs’ attorney, said the diamond leader violated the law.
"They controlled and monopolized the sale of rough diamonds and as a result merchants paid more than they should have for those stones," he said.
De Beers has not admitted to doing anything wrong in the $295 million settlement. An earmark of $135.4 million has been made for consumers who file a claim.
