Why is the diamond ring a commercial scam?

Diamonds are hype, and their value is not that high.

The main element of diamond is carbon, which is a very common substance on the earth. Although diamonds were rare when they were first discovered, they were later found to be abundant and not rare at all. The reason why diamonds still have such a high price is that diamond dealers are speculating.

1. Diamonds themselves are not uncommon. Diamonds are regular tetrahedral combinations of carbon atoms. They are just stones that exist in nature. Diamond itself is not so magical, and now the technology of artificial diamond is also very high.

There are many videos about making diamonds on the Internet, the most famous one is making diamonds from human hair. It is said that due to the different mineral content in each person's hair, the color of the diamond made will be different. Einstein's hair was once made into diamonds, also known as the very rare pink diamond.

Nowadays, diamond deposits are widely distributed around the world, and everyone can get a big diamond on average. With such a large amount of storage, if we don't deliberately speculate on the sense of rarity, the price of diamonds should double that of other ordinary stones. Just like Madagascar's famous agate, it is so cheap that people think it is a fake.

Second, diamonds are completely artificial hype. "Diamonds last forever, and one lasts forever." This slogan is a household name, and almost everyone has heard it, from an 80-year-old man to a three-year-old child. However, if you take your diamond ring to the place where you bought it and ask for it back, you will be disappointed. When those people sold you diamonds, they said they were valuable, but when it really came time for you to sell them, they wouldn't accept them. Your so-called diamond is not as valuable as its platinum ring, at least that ring is recyclable.

1870, Kimberly diamond mine was discovered, and the output was amazing. Until the pit was hollowed out and closed, this pit alone produced 3 tons of diamonds. In order to prevent the price of diamonds from plummeting, diamond dealers began to monopolize the industry, and almost all the diamonds in the world were concentrated in these hands. After that, they manipulated the price of diamonds, took advantage of advertising interests, and tied them together with unswerving love, completely raising the value of diamonds.

Many people don't necessarily know that diamonds are a commercial scam, but because of the long-term influence of diamond advertisements, many girls still feel that without diamonds in love, there is something missing. Although I know this is an IQ tax, some people are still willing to pay it. But now some people's ideas are changing, and everyone thinks that gold is much more reliable.
