Diamonds and gold have much more practical uses than jewelry and A GARNISH FOR SOME DUMB REASON (I'm literally allergic to gold, so nobody can justify gold flake to me)

i never understand why people need a new diamond if that’s the motivation. antique or vintage is surely higher status than something new

Even the idea that antique ones are more special was pushed by the NW Ayer ad agency for DeBeers to make people feel the diamonds they already had were unsellable heirlooms
