You ever try to sell a diamond yourself? People aren't willing to pay you shite for your diamond as soon as you walk out of the shop. Diamonds do not appreciate, they aren't liquid, and the types we put on rings have no use other than aesthetics. They are of slightly higher quality than a cubic zirconia which costs about 90% less than a diamond of same size. It's a racket.

Again, a diamonds value is what people are willing to pay for it. Whether you think the reasons people pay more for a diamond are stupid or not has no bearing on the overall value of the diamond.
It does effect the value of the diamond to you.
But at the end of the day, we all know you'll cave and go the expensive route because most guys do.
