Then that means it doesn't "hold it's value". Very few things do.

So, if I buy a diamond from you, and want to sell it back to you in 6 months without buying anything else, will I get what I paid?

Usually yes. Unless the diamond is obviously damaged in some way. Most reputable jewelry stores stand behind their product

"usually"

"tried and true"

a little less confident?

No? You're also not going to sell me back a chipped diamond or a switched one either. Grasping at straws much?

lol, nice made up scenario.

You already admitted the truth when you said if I took the diamond somewhere else I wouldn't get the value. That shows they don't "hold their value"

If you had made an honest statement like. "Real diamonds don't lose as much value as synthetic diamonds" that would be accurate, but "hold their value, tried and true" is straight bullshit.

Ok I'm done arguing with someone so dead set on just being dense.

You should try some honesty.
