Now that more people understand that diamonds aren’t that rare or valuable, natural gemstones like rubies, emeralds and opals have increased in value. I went shopping for a birthstone bracelet for my wife’s birthday and was wearing a ruby ring handed down from my grandfather. The jeweler offered me two diamond rings for it. I declined the offer. DeBeers and the modern cabal can go suck it.

Even better, it was polished perfectly! 100 carats, brilliant white, and with no inclusions!

Diamond jewelry is one of the most pretentious things ever.

In their time setting, glass would have been far more valuable.

Like most of its ilk, its value is transitory. Can’t cook with it. Can’t hunt with it. Can’t protect yourself with it.

Back then, glass would be more valuable as it could be chipped/fractured into sharp edges for blades or arrows.
