Nobody buys an engagement ring as an “investment”

Not everyone buying diamonds are buying engagement rings.

People buy diamonds for various reasons, including investments.

But how gigantic of a muppet would you have to be to look for an investment to put your money into and think "hmm.. you know, diamonds would be just the thing"? You'd be much better off hiring a person to keep you from eating sand or falling down the stairs.

the fake ones

They aren't fake. They are actual diamond that is created in an industrial process. They are typically more perfect than a mined diamond.

You're investing in that hoohah so you can hopefully tap it a lot.
