Personally, the value of a diamond e-ring cannot be stated in dollars. But aside from emotional and psycological value, why is such a small piece of stone so costly? I know that Debeers controls the supply and so on.... but can someone elaborate exactly how a diamonds command thousands? Also, if there was no monopoly on the supply side, would the intrinsic value of a dimond even be half of what they cost to purchase today? Its just that I sometime stare at my fiancee''s ring and think, "its beautiful and it means so much to us, but boy did it put a big dent on my wallet! Its like a honda civic on a finger, but without the engineering, parts, metals, labor(?), etc."
What kind of labor goes into finding a top 1% diamond? Are they rare at all? Is platinum rare and expensive to handle? So sorry for so many questions, but I had to ask.
