RE: Are Diamonds a Massive Scam?
I had heard about this before , and of course, in Mechanical watches the industrial ( usually red) diamonds made excellent bearings. In your research on this , were engagement rings( any Jewel) a feature in say , the 1800's?
They were precious, but no more so than other precious gems
They didn't have the symbolic weight as an inseparable part of an engagement as they do now
