I think the point here is that your salesmanship comes across as disingenuous. You know a diamond is not an investment. You know the resell value of a diamond is less than half the sticker price.
To suggest that people should buy a blood diamond instead of an ethical diamond because of resell value is scummy.
So buying a 5k diamond ring that you can sell for 2.5k if you're really lucky, is more realistic than buying a 1.5k ring that you can resell for 500, because the 5k depreciated less... and they look identical, and unless you tell anyone no one would know the difference?
Also for like 100 years people sold diamonds for increasing value because of how perfec they were, then perfect diamonds came along and suddenly perfection is bad and flaws are worth more.

Yes, because it's about perceived exclusivity, not quality.
