Diamond is made of the same element as Graphite, both are macromolecules made of carbon atom, the graphite is converted at very high temperatures and pressures to produce graphite. So poor quality diamonds can be mass produced and cost a fraction of the price as compared to real diamonds. If you want to buy something valuable to invest, try gold or platinum instead, these rare metals price will rise in time as the demand for these precious metals goes up.

I'd say invest in bottle caps, the currency of choice for the near nuclear fallout future.

Actually, Rhodium is even better, or Old Fart's droppings - may be out of production anytime soon.
This astonishing documentary investigates how an advertising slogan invented by Madison Avenue executives in 1948 has come to define our most intimate and romantic rituals and ideals. The Diamond Empire, which sent shockwaves through the transnational diamond industry when it first appeared, systematically takes apart the myth that "diamonds are forever." It exposes how one white South African family, through a process of monopoly and fantasy, managed to exert control over the global flow of diamonds and change the very way we think about courtship, marriage, and love — an achievement all the more stunning given that diamonds are in fact neither scarce nor imperishable. Zeroing in on how "the diamond empire" managed to convert something valueless into one of the most coveted commodities in history, the film provides a riveting look at how marketing and consumer culture shape not only global trade and economics, but also our very identities. MEF is delighted to be able to make this powerful educational resource available to teachers once again.

I can envisage that you'll become a very wealthy man in the years to come if you are not already very wealthy now, bro Eurekas.!
Gold & Platinum are indeed rarer than diamond. They'll be the investment 'in thing' in the years ahead when the equity market heads south again after this sucker bear market rally ends & global interest rates start rising again hitting the bond market hard.

The problem is it has become an obligation for a man to buy a diamond ring if he wants to get engaged, and eventually get married.
For men who want to get engaged, buying diamond rings are as sure as death & taxes in this commercialized silly world.
An average grade diamond engagement ring costs less than US$50 to produce but can sell for thousands of dollars at the retailers. It comes to a point that every man on this planet who wants to get engaged must go through an initiation process of being ripped off by De Beers which restricts the supply and creates artificial demand for diamonds using movies, TV programs, & advertisings.
Diamonds are women's best friends but men's worst enemies.
