This soi boi was right. How did we ever fall for the Jewery of the diamond industry?

>Muh shiny rock
So you have to get a woman a diamond before she will love you? No wonder there are so many incels.
>Muh rare rock
If it wasn't jewish enough they are literally making them with machines and still selling them for thousands.
>Diamonds are forever
Yeah because they trick you to upgrade your diamond every 5 years so you're forever paying them.

And yet there are jewelry stores littered everywhere and I still see poor people going there to "finance" a fucking rock kek. Is this just a U.S thing? I never understood how the biggest scam in history is ingrained into our culture.

lmao what the fuck are you talking about

Damn, It’s almost like they used to be super hard to mine in the 1800’s and modern mining technology has flooded the market and the prices never dropped.

Crazy.

Back in my day, we didn't give women diamonds for marrying us. We just punched them in the face if they said no and refrained from punching them if they said yes. That was diamond enough for any woman, back in my day.

>>514883559
>astrological reason
jeet nonsense

>>514883688
They literally advertise for you to upgrade your diamond by putting the cost of yours into the new diamond

>>514883769
Only funny until you try it yourself

>>514883688
OP was conned and hasnt grasp the depth of it fully yet.

>>514883699
no, it wasn't super hard to mine diamonds. they just weren't as desirable as any other gemstone until the propaganda campaign by debeers. this is already well documented. it really is just propaganda that makes them valuable.

>>514883756
>larping
Lol ok.

Adam ruins the masturbation machines

whole point of it is dedicating a stupid amount of your income to a worthless trinket with no resale value to prove to a woman how willing you are to invest in her

It's nothing more than an ego + brag thing for women. Get something that looks nice and isn't expensive for a wedding ring, put your actual money into something important that actually matters, like assets or investments your children can inherit or be gifted with.

>>514884108
I member... that was a good meme kek. Wish I still had those

>>514883491 (OP)
Yeah, you're now a piece of shit if you don't buy your soon to be wife the biggest rock you can afford. Instead of, you know, using that money for something that can actually improve your lives. Like a house! It's fucking retarded. I can care less what type of ring my wife would get me. It could be some cheap 5 dollar piece of iron

>>514883491 (OP)
>they are literally making them with machines and still selling them for thousands.
yes and they try and lie and tell you they are just as good and sell them at inflated prices. If you have to buy diamonds get them off the internet from a reputable wholesaler where you can know exactly the ratings of the one(s) you are getting, certificates, and take your time choosing. It's still a ripoff because diamonds are a ripoff in general but it's a better ripoff

>>514884342
Something that wont smell bad would be good or leach chemicals into my system.

>>514884342
some of it is because women think of it as some kind of security because how much it costs, so they can leave you and run off with it. But secondhand diamonds aren't worth shit it's just women being retarded whores as usual

>>514883491 (OP)
Israel's biggest export is diamonds. They do not have diamond mines in Israel.

Diamonds are actually an unstable form of carbon that is slowly decaying into useless graphite. So diamonds literally are not forever, one of the biggest scams of human history.

But it is. You didn't even bother to mention that the Jews are the ones who control the diamond trade. All those "diamond merchants" are Orthodox Jews. (And they fucking STINK, too -- it must be against their religion to bathe.)

>I never understood how the biggest scam in history is ingrained into our culture.

Based.

If she won't marry you because you didn't get a diamond ring, she isn't worth marrying to begin with. Simple As.

t. Did this to my wife when I could have afforded a big ass rock, but she took the less expensive one with no question. It's the last test for your "woman", don't forget.

What? The "diamonds are forever" line was to discourage people trying to sell their diamond jewelry because then they find out shit's fucking worthless

>>514886698
Yeah well jewelry stores are advertising putting your diamond towards the value of another

Diamonds are outrageously over-priced compared to other gemstones.
This is because De Beers intentionally causes artificial scarcity by storing the roughs for years, or decades, while at the same time pushing huge advertising campaigns to create demand.

>>514888002
Every luxury item is overpriced. Clothing, fashion, cars, food... diamonds have real uses, gucci bags do not. Why bother attacking the msrp of designer goods when rich people happily pay the prices? His argument is "just buy the fake stuff because it basically looks the same" cool now you have fake worthless diamonds to pass onto your grandchildren. I'm sure they'll be ecstatic

not only are diamonds common geologically, but you can literally make them in a lab. and the lab grows aren't even prohibitively expensive. you can get your wife a massive fucking diamond ring for less than 1k

>>514883491 (OP)
This rock could be used for all kinds of tech, which is hidden from us first of all obviously, instead it is hoarded by kikes and the goyim are wearing their leftovers at inflated prices.

>>514883491 (OP)

He's actually not correct about diamonds "not being rare". Big, natural diamonds that are clear and free of inclusions are extremely rare and expensive.

But yes, you can grow them in a laboratory. And the amount people pay can be outrageous.

That being said, who really fucking cares? You don't sound smart bringing up the same topic every other normie retard brings up, like it's some kind of secret nobody else has heard. People like to spend money on shit they like, whether you like it or not doesn't matter. Go make money and then you can buy shit other people will call you a retard for buying.

>>514888186
You continue to ignore the fact that even relative to other luxury goods diamonds are artificially boosted to needless highs that do not reflect supply and demand.
You also claim to care only about the utility and aesthetics of the thing, but claim artificial diamonds are worthless even though you can only tell the difference with a microscope.
You are being disingenuous.

niggercattle being retarded as usual https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/labradorit.html you can make a whole fucking dress of something that actually looks pretty and not something that looks like a diffracted nothing for 10-100x less cost there are so many fucking beautiful gemstones and shit that literally cost less then bread per kg even if you are set on diamond you can buy those packets of zircones which looks identical and cost like 20$ for a pack of couple hundread

not like it matters niggercattle cant see beauty it unironically requires intelligence to actually be able to appreciate that which is beautiful you have to have a certain threshhold of int to diffrentiate complex enough patterns from each other to physically be able to see shit let alone appreciate it diamond arent even the worst example cars are even worse they are even more expensive and they continual cost of maintenance is horrific not to mention how fucking disgustingly slovenly niggers become with it i remember my dad he had a fucking dentist appointment his car was at the repairs and the bus would only take him 200m away from it so the rest he would have to walk so he ended up skipping the appointment its just horrific through and through

Shut the fuck up and give her your grandmother's ring, retards. Go ask your mom for it right the fuck now. There you go. A shiny rock that is 10x more meaningful than a storebought one completely for free. Now go find something else to blame your shitty life on.

Just get a band. Plain or tastefully (minimally engraved). Steel, silver, 12-16kt gold. Size to left ring digit. If she ain't happy with it, she ain't happy with you. Whether or not that's her fault or yours isn't my determination to make, but I've known good women who accept the ring. It's about the time you spend with her, man.
>inb4 cope
I know some women suck. Shit, a LOT of 'em do. But you have to get that the inundation of "DON'T MARRY, ALL WOMEN ARE LOOSE DISEASED HARPIES, PLAY VIDYA INSTEAD" propaganda is mostly kike propaganda. If you can't see that then you weren't gonna make it anyway, woman or no.

Diamond dealer is the worlds most Jewish profession.

I somehow doubt that he was 'right'. He was probably just making a reddit-tier argument like:
>Why are we obsessed with these rocks!?!
>Money is just, like, green paper maaan
It's not that he was wrong, it's just that he was right for all the wrong reasons.

Synthetic diamonds and real diamonds are two separate markets, don't make that mistake. Synthetic industry is highly speculative and the price is due to fluctuate drastically. They do not retain their value as the market is flooded with more manufacturers.
Mined diamond retains value better, often comes with documentation and warranty. Just don't buy the African rocks if you care about that sort of thing (but a ton of the gold is mined from there anyway).

Nah anyone who is remotely sensitive to crystal energies knows that lab stones are dead and lifeless.
Its the equivalent of a microwaved TV dinner versus an outdoor campfire steakout.

The crystal absorbs energies for thousands of years and holds a memory of them, and has a unique personality that a lab produced stone doesn't.

The only exception is that hydrothermal ruby actually does a really good job at having good energy, even though it doesnt have a memory like stones that lived inside the earth.

Diamonds are boring anyways because the majority of the interesting energy comes from the color. And diamonds are colorless.
