Logically, diamonds are just a mineral, Marie.
I know they’re stupid, inflated, useless.
I still get a high from certain jewelry counter displays. Not sure if it’s socialized, but I think it’s comparable to men being engaged by sports or cars.

That said, this stone is hideous. The hue and muddy cuts astound me. Jennifer Lopez is negotiating a sale.

Those can and are made synthetically in China now.

and those same synthetics are also mixed into the ‘natural’ diamond supply in India, to be put into jewelry along with the real ones.

Entire diamond market is a scam, and anyone who invests in a diamond is a fool.
