...and now, some worthless info...
I've never understood the diamond craze. It's an artificially overpriced commodity. ...but, they are sparkly!!
They're not even rare, yet people pay out the ass for them! Ya gotta love the dynamics of a civilized, modern society!!
De Beers is a genius! Here's a quote from "Facts About Diamonds" - "To maintain the high prices of diamonds, De Beers creates an artificial scarcity: they stockpile mined diamonds and sell them in small amounts."
Perhaps De Beers chairman Nicky Oppenheimer said it best: "diamonds are intrinsically worthless, except for the deep psychological need they fill."
Reminds me of religion! ...but, they are sparkly!!
