What a predicament. Even a Shuttle-sized load of this material would be enough to wreck the world price of diamond forever.
(And the mount needed for a 17 quintilion carat ring would be a task in itself) :)

Companies like Gemesis can manufacture diamonds which are bigger and better than natural ones.
Gold still has a future as jewelry that retains value.
