Abstract

The Do-IT-YOURSELF DIAMOND KIT is a novelty item, intended for the amusement of the purchaser. The tongue-in-cheek “instruction manual” is the main feature of this item. While there are no moving parts to this item, it consists solely of a boxed piece of coal and the instruction manual, the benefit to the purchaser is the fun in reading the manual, and imagining that they can turn the coal into a diamond like one of the pictured ideas presented in the manual.
