I worked in diamond exploration for years. We joked that we were turning diesel into diamonds – just not through compression. Seriously kids, buy a lab diamond if you want one.

Honestly, because diamonds are just cliché, over priced and over made meaning that don’t have a real high value and all the other gemstones have gone so unloved over the years. I mean, as a 28 year old man I fucking love my emerald earrings. Ruby ones as well for that matter. Fuck diamonds my dudes puts some color in the bling.

I am wearing opal right now. Diamond are just kind of meh.

NaoPb,

Not falling for Debeers ads anymore probably.

Bigoldmustard,

Found me a lady who wanted an amethyst. Paid like $300, biggest issue was the stone was so big it kept getting loose. Those are our preferences though, some people want the diamond and that’s fine. It’s okay to want something dumb. Nothing you acquire will be meaningful in the long run, it’s the memories.

UltraMagnus0001,

maybe they know about blood diamonds and don’t care about shiny things that serve no purpose.

Restaldt,

Classic, you can tell because the people in it look like 2013 hipsters

Oderus,

That job application issue has been around a long time. It’s not a millenial ssue.

Cuz why would I buy an allotropic modification of carbon, it’s all around me. Hell, I’m made from it.

Investing in gold on the other hand… yeah, that makes sense.

Also…they’re less likely to be morons who live their lives based on television commercials made by con artists

henfredemars,

My wife wanted amethyst because “everyone gets a diamond ring. And it’s purple!” It was also very cost effective.

explodicle,
