  • One of the biggest myths ever perpetrated. Diamonds are not a girl's best friend. They are a worthless rock. The damn things are so abundant it's not even funny. The lie of scarcity has sent the value through the roof, and people still believe it. These stones are worthless as sand on a beach.

  • condoms are the  girl's best friend.

  • @CrimsonSunset218 the only difference between a natural diamond and a manmade diamond is the age.. diamods can be made from anything with carbon inside of it once so a prehistoric plant for instance would be crushed and burned for millions of years the carbon inside of it solidifys into a diamond while the plant itself is nothing ut gas and melted ashes every diamond is the same just vary in color

  • @karutobi Yes, but that dosen't replace the ones we lost, which have qualities (due to foreign matter) that man-made ones don't have. Plus, it's simply a waste done to inflate the price of the jewelry they sell.

  • @CrimsonSunset218 you can make diamonds out of anything with carbon in it

  • thumbs up for double chin at 3:55

  • @Probablyacowtbh "Artificial diamonds" are generally flawless, as opposed to the flawed natural ones. They are of superior quality, for a cheaper price.

  • "Florida - so many retirees and rest homes, it's now known as 'God's waiting room.' "

  • I hate that they destroy diamonds to create that shortage that he's talking about. Inconsiderate bastards! What about the Future!!??

  • Diamonds are ugly, i'd rather buy a Ruby or an Emerald

  • Sooo. You get a diamond for your ring. You wear it for about a year. You put it back in the box. You forget about it. After 35 years you wear it again. You die. They bury the ring with you. Its now worth nothing and people try to dig your grave for the worthless rock. This is why I trust pearl.

  • I'm wondering if artificial diamonds are of superior or inferior quality. Does the diamond expert base his conclusion on their being fewer or more imperfections than average?

    As he mentions the colour being intense, I'm suspecting they're of superior quality; with the light being refracted with less "signal loss" as it travels through the diamond.

    Could be wrong though(wouldn't be the first time).
