Do some googling on DeBeers. There IS no one else (for all practical purposes).
There are some Russian and Canadian outfits mining diamonds, but mostly industrial grades. If you want a nice gem quality diamond, you're dealing with DeBeers.
Besides, there are so many nicer looking stones than diamonds....
When I was shopping a few years ago, a local jeweler was selling the Canadian ones. Maybe they don't come up easily with Google, but they are out there and in the consumer jewelry market.
