NOTHING is more over valued than jewelry especially diamonds. Gold is the ONLY jewelry with actual real value
But we keep falling for it year after year. Guys with their ridiculous watches & women with their diamonds.
De Beers started the diamond con 100 yrs ago & women have fallen for it ever since!
