    Hey Aluxers, we're just curious to know.. how much do you believe it makes sense to spend on a diamond engagement ring compared to your salary? 1.5? 2.5? 5? 10 times?

    Number 16: Diamonds are not rare, the reason why diamonds are so expensive is because of savvy and sometime unethical business reasons, another contributor is the labour put into them.
    Number 17: Diamonds became a sign of marriage because of a marketing strategy.
    Number 18: Diamonds are one of the biggest scams in history. They found so much diamonds that they had a massive warehouse full of large crates containing tons of diamonds. They released it in small quantities so that it appeared rare and that they can get a more expensive price.

    Diamonds are not rare. The available retail quantity available may be low, but that is by design. De Beer have so many diamonds that they could flood the market and make them practically worthless. It's a cartel with a Monopoly on the industry.

      It’s not. Two million diamonds with a CT weight of 2 or more gets mined every year. The value of diamonds only comes from a very controlled supply and demand in the market. If someone finds a diamond mine and just sells those diamonds at a lower premium, the entire industry would collapse. Diamonds only have a market value and no inherent value. There’s not a finite amount of diamonds just select colored diamonds.
