Hang on. Don't forget that diamonds are used for cutting, grinding, drilling, and as a heat sink in electronics.

Yeah, they use synthetic ones for that.

Hey, don't blame the material for the actions of their owner.

That being said, I have no idea of why people buy diamonds outside of industry.

They are boring to look at, sure they sparkle, but they have boring colours, saphire, emerald and ruby look way cooler.
