Diamonds are not that rare and not worth the price you have been brainwashed to think. It's all propagandized by the Rothschild (De Beers), they have a monopoly on the world's diamond market. Want proof? Look at your wife's ring. It most likely has diamonds that you paid a good few months salary. They manipulate the supply so it seems rare, so you're paying a higher price. 10% of the price you've paid is already overprice. But of course, "Diamonds are forever/a girl's best friend", right? You bought into it.
