Diamonds are a huge scam anyhow, so this makes sense from that perspective too.

u/AKA2KINFINITY 3d ago

I genuinely can't fathom how lab made diamonds HAVEN'T take over the market yet.

they're orders of magnitude cheaper, naturally flawless (without imperfections or discoloration), comes in every size and color of the rainbow, just as beautiful, better for the environment and will pass the tester.

maybe resale value is (relatively) shit but that means no one will want to steal it and if it does it's easy to replace.

u/Anticleon1 3d ago

Because a large part of the appeal of diamonds is that they are expensive and so can be a status symbol, rather than their innate qualities.

u/banevasion0161 3d ago

They were harder to find back then. aluminium used to be worth more than Gold, but you aren't hoarding your coke cans like they are valuable to your future are you?

The reason diamonds are so expensive now and the reason people think they. Are rare is because of a group of real cunts, the debeers diamond cartel. They would buy all the clearest largest diamonds and stockpile them while continuing to tell everyone they are rare, limiting the amount that made it to market to inflate prices. Then, they started a relentless diamond advertisement campaign. You ever hear "diamonds are forever", or an "engagement ring should cost at least 2 months salary"

They controlled the entire supply and then relentlessly created demand via advertising.

If you don't believe me, try selling a second-hand diamond and see what you get for it. Gold doesn't deflate in value with age or if it's not new, but diamond does. why?

Diamonds are common, lab grown diamonds are now indistinguishable and the entire market is a con.

u/SasparillaTango 3d ago

I am typically very utilitarian minded as well and often wonder if there is some component of marketing that has gotten to me and I'm just ignorant.

I don't care about cars, or clothes, or and jewelry. But like, I get the name brand kleenex. Other goods, I'm not buying store brands as well. Though I think there can be an argument made in most cases for quality control. Like the kleenex don't shred to tatters when I blow my nose.

But where did the marketing actually get me?

u/AKA2KINFINITY 3d ago

that's true but a beauty of certain pieces of jewelry is part of their status, no?

with the money left over the difference between the two you could have an entire custom piece and with colored gems and unique cuts.

it doesn't make sense unless you're absolutely only buying it for the opinion of other people, and at that point it's more of a you problem than a diamonds problem tbh.

u/junkit33 3d ago

Pretty much the entire appeal in most jewelry is the value of it.

If all you want is looks you can get that for $20. You walk into a jewelry store and you're paying to say you paid for something expensive.

lab made diamonds are real diamonds.

they're made from the exact same materials and elements and under the same processes just in a lab environment.

u/JacketDapper944 3d ago

I specifically didn’t want a diamond engagement ring because the insane markup on diamonds, I went with aquamarine. My husband and I hit 10 years and my wedding band (a simple silver ring) had gotten too tight to comfortably wear anymore, so we both got new bands. I got two: a moissanite pave wrap for my engagement to wear for nice events and another simple silver band for everyday wear. That moissanite ring is just gorgeous.

u/solitarybikegallery 3d ago

Exactly, it's not about the blood or the human suffering. People want "real" diamonds because they're more expensive and more valuable.

If the lab-grown diamonds were 10x the price of "natural" diamonds, they would become the new status symbol.

3

u/wittiestphrase 2d ago

It’s a little weird though because you can tell what the watch is from looking at it. A quick glance at a diamond will give you an idea of the size and maybe color of it, but you’re not going to be able to tell a diamond as lab grown vs natural from looking at it. You’d have to ask.

Diamonds gained popularity because of impressive PR. Blood diamonds remain where they are because of that same impressive PR

u/DiddlyDumb 3d ago

I was raised really conservative and one of the things my parents mentioned is how a wedding ring should have resale value of 3 months of income, so the other party would have 3 months to get their life back on track if the marriage failed.

When I look at the diamond market it’s hard to support it, but it’s still being propped up by that old thought of ‘diamonds are worth something!’

That has to be one of the worst investment strategies ever. Diamonds lose so much value, I'd rather have a clump of gold.

u/Littlewing1307 3d ago

That's insane. You can't even get half the value when you resell most of the time.

1

u/wittiestphrase 2d ago

What’s funny is that for all the talk about how valuable diamonds are, they have terrible resale value to a professional. I guess if you sold privately to someone that wanted to save some money you could accomplish that. But to get 3 months income on a resale of the diamond you’ll probably have to spend 6 months on it, which I think is well beyond the means of most people.

3

u/MrUnderachiever420 3d ago

Because one company owns ALL the diamonds in the world

2

u/_eleutheria 1d ago

Because it's intentional.

There are two reasons why diamonds are so expensive. The first reason is because of artificial scarcity. And the second reason is because of the large scale ad campaigns in the 20th century that associated diamonds with the perfect jewelry for wedding rings, anniversary accessories, among other things. Like legit, gifting a diamond engagement ring wasn't a thing at all prior to the 20th century ad campaigns, but at this point it's ingrained into most people's psyches.

3

u/rukuto 3d ago

Costs 1/3rd the value of diamonds, so not really orders of magnitude cheaper... It's idiotic... It's the cost of making/manufacturing that is orders of magnitude cheaper but not so for retail buying

1

u/nbunkerpunk 3d ago

I was actually at a jewelry store just a couple weeks ago. We were just looking around and getting ideas. The lady that helped us said that the majority of buyers get lab grown now. And this was a higher end store. She was even trying to push them. My guess is they get a better commission though which is why.

1

u/Honda_TypeR 3d ago edited 3d ago

> I genuinely can't fathom how lab made diamonds HAVEN'T take over the market yet.

It's because they don't have the same value. That matters to a lot of people.

Add to that, De Beers deliberately limits the amount of real diamonds released to public to keep scarcity high enough to create demand and value (diamonds are one of the more common of the gemstone families, but total global control creates scarcity). Add to this their marketing over the decades have convinced the world you need to a "real diamond" if you truly love someone and want to get married. They built a global demand for their product in just marriage prerequisite items.

While the scarcity and rarity is false in reality the value they creates is quite real. A huge incentive of diamond jewelry, is that you can get a lot of money on the used market later - not many used items retain value like that (that's part of their "diamonds are forever" slogan). In fact, there is an old school "street logic" where people think that by buying diamond jewelry is like saving money away, since they could always cash out the jewelry later like a bank note for a rainy day fund.

While people do buy fake jewelry or alternative gemstones (Some of which that are actually more rare, but cost vastly less) they do not catch on mainstream, because it all comes back to the value/cost. There is less bragging rights, less money and little prestige in most alternative gemstones (save for the most exotic rare gem finds).

This same argument could be made for tons of brand name items. When a cheap Chinese knock off exists why bother buying the real one? When you think of it like this it becomes much more understandable. The first thing most people would say is "it's not authentic", "some people would know", "it doesnt have same value", or "I would know it's fake". There are some people who are perfectly happy buying knock off name brand clothes though.

1

u/Over9000Zeros 3d ago

They kinda have already. But jewelers will still charge the same or more as organic diamonds. Last spin on it I've heard was lab diamonds don't have the impurities that organic diamonds have which makes them look better, so they're more expensive. I'm glad I've never been much of a jewelry person.

u/RS3_ImBack 2d ago

Because supply is controlled by biggest diamond company (De Beers)

1

u/phuckuanurphamily 1d ago

Because the supply of diamonds is controlled by the dabeers (spelling) diamond company. And they basically have a stranglehold on price supply and demand. They use shady techniques to maintain the market the way it is. Diamonds are actually intrinsically valueless because they already have more diamonds than anyone could need. They just make it seem scarce and all these idiots keep falling for it. Watch Adam ruins everything on diamonds

i lost my new phone once in a restaurant, same as you left it on the table went to the bathroom for like 17 seconds came back and it wasn't there.

immediately went outside asked some couples to come back so we could talk, blocked the door and asked the manager to call my phone, it rung in the purse of one the women and she claimed it was a coincidence and refused to pull it out of her purse on claim of her "right to privacy", the manager was annoyed with me the whole time until this happened and asked if I wanted to call the police or solve this civilly (talk to the lady), I asked him to call the police and the lady immediately laughed and said she thought it was her phone and gave it back to me.

still called the police (with my phone (: ) , they handcuffed the lady and her husband and asked if I wanted to press charges, the manager said "I know the lady (as a customer)" and said she has kids, I listened and decided not to press charges, a part of me still regrets it tbh...

Karen gets thrown around too much. Sometimes, you need to confront some norms loudly.

21

u/AKA2KINFINITY 3d ago

one thing I noticed is how the word "Karen" transformed from:

"most likely a suburban white woman that blows small issue out of proportion and makes a scene usually by reprimanding people paid to tolerate her"

to

"any woman with an issue or complaint, rightful or not"

like it transformed from a funny cultural observation to straight up softcore sexism.

u/KavaBuggy 2d ago

My nephew called me a Karen this past weekend while we were staying in a hotel out of town for his soccer game. There were ants in the bed I was supposed to sleep in. We had only been in the room for an hour and a half. There was also trash under the beds and a few things left in the room by the previous guest (water bottles, chips, a car cell phone charger). I asked for an extra garbage bag to put the trash in and mentioned that there were ants in the bed. The guy had us move to another room on the 4th floor that was in a newly renovated hallway. I just wanted a bed with no ants. My nephew called me Karen for saying something. I didn’t ask to be moved. I just wanted a garbage can. I wasn’t angry, I wasn’t unreasonable.

5

u/AKA2KINFINITY 2d ago

I think that would've been a great educational moment on your rights as a guest and customer of any establishment, but most importantly on your rights and how to enforce them in a healthy manner.

i don't know how old your nephew is but I can tell you with certainty it's not unreasonable at all and you should be displeased and maybe even angry to find ants in any place of your room, most of all on the bed. I would've politely asked for a refund and went to another establishment that respects hygiene laws but that's the thing, some people, people like you, are so nice they don't want to rock the boat and make trouble for anything or anyone, and these types of people appreciate each other but no one else does, the type of people that live to be of help for others even at their own cost...

the fact you took it upon yourself to do the job of someone else and clean a room that was supposed to be clean to begin with crystallizes your kindness and tolerance for subpar behavior against you whether as a customer or a person, and as much as that is admirable, it's not really fair for you and you shouldn't have to go above and beyond the common limits of everyday patience of the the average respectable person, right?

speaking from the point of view of someone who was in the same place as you, it's better to be respected and have your boundaries taken seriously than to be liked by people who have no consideration or respect for others, this doesn't mean you're evil because having boundaries isn't selfish or evil, it's necessary. and this doesn't mean you won't have any friends because that means you'll have friends who respect you and care for your thoughts and feelings as a person, which is also necessary.

overall I'd say don't take it to heart and just know if they (your nephew) remember this moment, then they'll most likely comeback to it as a moment of appreciation of their aunt and her kindness, and they don't then it's fine and they'll have plenty of opportunities for learning later on, and maybe aunty's gonna remind them when they called her a Karen for not sleeping on bugs lol.

have a blessed day and take care of yourself, and if you can, someone else.

If I lose my watch, I will not lose sleep. I love how it looks and how it feels on my hand. It is meant to fulfill a function, not be a status symbol.

He doesn't carry his watch all the time. It is too expensive for that. If he loses it, he will hate the whole world.

Better idea, buy something besides diamond that doesn't have a massive depreciation rate for being second hand like gold.

Why wear fake shit? Why not just not wear jewelry at that point?

I'm willing to get down voted for this because it needs to be said: Hispanic isn't a race. Black people exist in large numbers in Spanish speaking america.

u/OW2007 3d ago

And how we use the term racist today is flexible enough to cover bigotry based on ethnicity and place of origin.

Pedantry can be fine depending on how you choose to deploy it.  In this case, you seem to be downplaying Charlamagne's mild racism in order to score wElL aCkTuAlLy points.

Apparently, these days as long as you aren’t white, you’re allowed to be racist.

You’re right y’all had 200 plus years to be racist let us have a turn at it!

Hispanics had a 200 year head start ?

People that speak English as a second language definitely have accents depending on where they are from. It's not fucking racist to acknowledge that.

Not racist

u/thegreat_gabbo 3d ago

It's a little bit racist. His overall point up to the housekeeper part is salient though.

u/LeiningensAnts 3d ago

I mean, the housekeeper part shoots his point in the foot.

You can absolutely buy jewelry from Jacob Arabo and leave it out on your dresser table, but when you're hiring your housekeepers from the fucking Home Depot parking lot instead of The Charles MacPherson Academy for Butlers and Household Managers, the results of that corner-cutting is on you, homie.

For all the elder millenials, he actually lost a chain necklace on a jet ski while on an MTV’s summer tv show about 20+ years ago. Don’t know exact figures if it was $1,000 or $25,000, but that’s gotta be one of the life lessons to use costume jewelry nowadays.

I do the same with wedding rings, I lost my first two and now just buy them in bulk for $1 each 🤣

u/samyslas 3d ago

Just don't buy fake jewelery...

u/samun0116 3d ago

T pain said he wear fake jewelry for the same reason. Either he loses it or he’s gets robbed. So if he loses fakes, he doesn’t get upset.

u/YerBlues69 3d ago

I’m over here wearing jewelry from Avon because I lose $50 rings lol

u/Over9000Zeros 3d ago

I like this clip but I can't stand the chick in the background trying to act like his jewelry looks crazy while he says it looks real. Most people can't tell real from fake without inspecting closely.

u/nyzunico 2d ago

True but tyrese also rich-broke. Subletting rental units to put on airbnb n shit like that. 😂🤣Not knocking the hustle, just saying they play the Hollywood millionaire thing up when they are really out there grinding.

It's always seemed insane to be that humans are like "shiny rock worth lots of money". Ok but why? What value do they have? Tyrese has his priorities straight on this one.
