Diamonds are a scam. It's not rare and the "tradition" to offer it for marrying was invented by ad campaigns from De Beers. They also invented slogans like "diamonds are forever" and "diamond are a girl's best friend".

Bit of a Geologist here.
Diamonds are actually very common. They (like most know) are simply made of carbon, and are only unique in the sense that their atomic structure (due to the electron valance pairing ability of carbon) quite literally makes it one of the hardest atomic structures in the universe (that we know of).
Hence, why Diamonds are listed on a 10 on the scale of Mohs Absolute Hardness. Given a exponential diagram (going from a Mohs scale of 1, Talc) to Diamonds, you will see a sharp curve from Mohs scale of 9 (Corundum: i.e. Sapphires/Rubies) to Diamonds.
Additionally, Diamonds are usually sourced from Kimberlites. They are deep mantle based material that have had diamonds/carbon on pockets that are (assuming) to form under extremely high temperatures and pressures (hence, being formed in deep mantle material) to which, under processes not currently understood, a supersonic type magma push is ejected from the deep mantle up through the surface, where it can run into much more solid material overhead, or extrudes to near surface where the materials cool. Then come along the miners millions of years later and decide to dig.
Diamonds are usually of small nature, many being microscopic, and are far better used in industrial applications, such as lasers and cutting saws.
And don't even get me started on DeBeers and their blood market (blood diamonds) and the absolute state of the cornered market and how insanely inflated it is.
Well MGTOW's, the more you know. I hope you enjoyed reading this, and remember it when it comes to 'diamonds are a girls best friend' and/or 'muh girl deserves a diamond ring' nonsense.
Edit: Just one more thing, since I had a reply below about costs such as blades, etc.: Diamonds on a precious stone level require serious work. I diamond in it's natural element when pulled out of the earth looks much like quartz, or could be confused for a similar mineral. Also the initial size of the found mineral (diamond) deposit, or ore body/vein. A diamond has to be reviewed for any internal fractures or anomalies. As well, it has to be at least large enough that cutting the diamond down to angles will actually leave something left. Geometric/Face related concerns have to be met. Geochemistry of the diamond has to be determined for purity. A 'blue' diamond for example. Boron contamination. Now we get to actually get into cutting the diamond. And after starting with a 100g, now is left at 50g.

I pick up diamond saws (well, the teeth are micro diamonds on the actual blade) for like 20 bucks at my local Ace Hardware.
What gives diamonds actual worth is the purity and light refraction. I'm gonna edit my post.
[β]davisyoung2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
And I can imagine part of it is the effort involved in cutting and polishing the diamonds. But like everything else, worth is what a buyer and seller agree upon. When the seller is a cartel with the market cornered, the perceived worth is going to be skewed. To get an idea of the actual worth, you have to factor in the secondary market where the cartel is removed from the equation. And ask anybody who has tried to sell an engagement ring on the used market, prices are going to resemble more DeWalt than DeBeers.

So is buying diamonds just like buying a super branded pair of plastic shades?
Yes and no. If you are buying a diamond that has some form of chain of custody, history, verification of where found and who did the cutting, then that's the read deal. And you will pay real prices for that.
Synthetic diamonds are another option. That's where the brand name on cheap shades come from. Cubic Zirconia is an example, but those are cheap to make and buy. Lab/Industrial diamonds are synthetic as well, but are made with processes that made them just as hard as a natural diamond. Obviously much more expensive.

That's your cheap, knock-off sunglasses.

Cubic zirconia
Cubic zirconia (CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). The synthesized material is hard, optically flawless and usually colorless, but may be made in a variety of different colors. It should not be confused with zircon, which is a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4). It is sometimes erroneously called cubic zirconium.

The properties of synthetic diamond depend on the details of the manufacturing processes; however, some synthetic diamonds (whether formed by HPHT or CVD) have properties such as hardness, thermal conductivity and electron mobility that are superior to those of most naturally formed diamonds.

Synthetic diamonds are much purer, and since contamination with any other mineral will make a diamond weaker, synthetic diamonds are stronger

I love how you're giving the facts, that diamonds are kept artificially scarce by not releasing many of them so that their prices can be greatly and artificially inflated and the NPC is countering by saying hey look not many diamonds are released the #FakeNews outlets said so!
Bonus points: Tomatoes (and other food items) are also kept artificially scarce for similar reasons though the price gouging is less pronounced here and being food items that means the excess is just rotting away in warehouses.

Dude, I literally could not care less about the market of diamonds, I'm trying to prove a point here, which is that diamonds are rare (jewelry is a scam? sure, irrelevant).
There isn't more diamonds than there are tomatoes, LITERALLY 133 million carats each year (https://www.cnbc.com/id/48782968) which is about 26600 kilograms, with a density of 3.51 g/cmΒ³, that's 7.58 cubic meters, that is fucking rare.
https://www.quora.com/In-terms-of-rarity-how-valuable-is-a-diamond-versus-other-mined-minerals "it takes processing 200-250 tons of rocks to get 1 carat of diamond (that's 0.200 grams only), and this might not even be gem-quality diamond. We aren't even mentioning fancy colors diamond, which makes no more than 2% of the world diamond rough.. If that isn't rare, then I dunno what is?!".
Fact of the fucking matter is, diamond's are rare, you can't fucking argue with that what the actual fuck?! You lot mental?

Dog is mans best friend because a woman is not.
Shiny pebble versus productive loyal member of family? There is no comparison here.
How anyone in the world could think diamonds have anything on dogs is beyond me. Getting dogs as companions are one of the very best things that ever happened to humankind.

Diamonds are indeed a scam. Thats why I buy synthetic. 1/10th the price, aaand more brilliant β€ Only idiots think diamonds are worth anything.

I dooont want to do my smartass here (and im not smart) but we can say that mens are better at choosing wich carbon they prefer : highly complex, beautifull, shining trough your soul, costly, you never want to lose it and diamonds.
Well, huskies are used for transport

I though the original post was pointing out that guys were smarter. :/ maybe they are worth more money wise but dogs are way cooler than diamonds.

Wait. She thought she was the intelligent one? It almost sounded like she was on the mans side. Because it sounded stupid.
[β]MasterChris725-1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sheβs implying a rock is better than an animal basically. Sounds like she has her priorities straight.
[β]MGTOWPOLITICS-1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait just reading that top comment it sounds like she is saying men are smarter than women
[β]xorbe5 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Let's hope she doesn't stand on the dog and turn it into a diamond.
