    As a former diamond broker I have to say the concept of diamonds " holding their value" to trade up or sell is a lie lie lie. Unless you have a 6 carat and up stone there is no investment value. Buy the lab grown diamond...they are molecule for molecule the same material!

      not true because during the pandemic when they closed the mines and the price of diamonds went up alot there werent any rough diamonds available in antwerp in the rough market, they didnt bring out the secret stash to cash in and im in the diamond industry. de beers isnt a monopoly anymore people buy it from another company in antwerp now which sells on the behalf of 6 or 7 private mines as its cheaper than de beers or russia has 40 percent of mining now.

    A few years ago, my wife and I were at the range. She was the only one shooting and I got hit with a 9mm ricochet. I had the mangled bullet put into a small gold basket and put on a chain as a pendant. Now she says that, when I die, she wants to turn me into a diamond. I joke with her that, when people ask her about the ring (me), she can say "that's my husband". And when they ask about the pendant, she can say "that's the bullet I shot him with". Both statements would be true, but totally out of context.

    Diamonds are exactly like cars. As soon as that ring comes out of that store, it’s depreciating rapidly. So no, they do told their value at all.

    • @user-sk2ix7fv2q
      @user-sk2ix7fv2q 3 месяца назад

      its not that the depreciate. If you look at the historical price of diamonds they havent until only very recently gone down in value. The issue is unlike gold for example there isn't a set price and the consumer often loses more money selling the diamond than they do buying them .

    • @user-sk2ix7fv2q
      @user-sk2ix7fv2q 3 месяца назад

      for example lets say the diamond is 4000usd, depending on the jeweller they have to pay for all their staff insurance rent etc so they sell for maybe double that around 9k including the gold ring and taxes. When the consumer goes to sell that diamond thats worth 4000usd a dealer or jeweller will offer 2 or 3000 usd a lot less than what the jeweller can buy it for from the diamond manufacturers. So what they paid 8000 basically for they get 2000 back. If you deal with a dealer, broker or competitive private jeweller then the profit margins can be much much less. If you try and sell a diamond straigh away in a diamond market dealers will offer ludicrously low prices. you have to deal with a broker who can put it back in the market and wait for a jeweller to buy it

      Actually no they aren’t necessarily. Due to their volatile properties, a diamond can, believe it or not, spontaneously disappear when it’s complete carbon structure breaks. However, it would perhaps take a long time, and also, no one has yet reported such an occurrence.

      It’s mainly about holding the value. The supply of lab grown can grow 100x over a period and the $5,000 lab grown diamond you bought could drop to be worth only a few hundred. If you’re finance/ wife doesn’t care then it doesn’t really matter

    Just like cubit zirconias. I have several of them and I bought them from Avon for about $20.00, of course that was some years ago. About the only diamond ring I have, is one I bought many years ago and they are tiny and probably made from diamond chips that fell to the floor. I had it put in layaway and paid for it so much a month. My cubit zirconias are five carats. God bless.

      Ok I got it backwards, but do they look the same? No because there are other physical traits that differ. Plenty in fact. Like I said the appearance due to chemical traits. Color due to different compositional makeups. You should not make blanket statements when they’re incorrect.

      @@diegojines-us9pc You are right in that aspect too. The entire way in which blood diamonds are procured is reprehensible. If you're a lab worker, your skilled labor and your value are different from those of the slave kid in the mine. I have empathy for the child or adult slaving for crumbs in servitude to an evil corporation. One is in a dirty, dangerous mine, and one is in a clean room. Both are working to keep this trade going. Both are producing real diamonds. One has just found a better way to do it. So, how is the kid in the mine still employed? You would think that once we found a way to do it safely, the other would become irrelavant.

    A perfect lab-grown diamond makes more sense to me than an imperfect natural one.
    Many years ago I asked a girl to marry me. She said yes and immediately dragged me to a shopping mall to look at diamonds. I had some jeweler friends so I wasn't going there. In the mean time she was more impressed with size rarher than quality. This was one point of contention that ultimately led to our disengagement.
