Actually out of all the precious stones, diamonds are actually the most common and least valuable.
Their perceived value dates back to an old marketing campaign that was so effective, they have been considered precious ever since.

Yeah I mean we like shiny things, fair enough haha
But out of all the shiny things, we picked the least valuable one as the most valuable because of a marketing campaign. Like really?
Still, my other half likes diamonds so I sucked it up and bought a big ol' over priced rock for her engagement ring 😂
