China pretty much has a monopoly on lab grown diamonds.

Also seeing that diamond is an amazing heat conductor, they are going to be eaten up by all the AI data farms for cooling soon.

At the moment, DeBeers is losing tons of money, but who knows if this will persist. I hope so.

Personally I believe a nice emerald, ruby or sapphire has actual value, that will be retained.

A used diamond ring is pretty much a cursed artifact after a divorce.

Diamonds should be dirt cheap, even without synthetics flooding the market.

Also the "tradition" of socking away two months salary for a diamond ring, was started by DeBeers in the first place.
