32. Diamonds are NOT WORTH what people pay for them.

The DeBeers cartel has controlled the diamond supply from South America for many decades. They also started the ad campaigns which tell women that they MUST have a diamond engagement ring, or wedding ring.

Most engagement/wedding/anniversary rings are boring and unimaginative in design, as well.

Furthermore, there are other stones that are colored that I like much better.

I have 2 G.I.A. certificates, one in Diamond Grading and one in Colored Stone Grading.
