I already know all about diamonds. Diamonds can be a good investment, but it has to be a certain cut, color, and clarity in order to retain its value over time.
You really have to know what to shop for when using diamonds as an investment. It's like grand pianos, only Steinways made from a certain year are going to retain value and pay off as an investment over time.
Usually diamonds that are a good investment are diamonds that are going to be in the $100,000+ range. Out of range for most people.
diamonds are never an investment, if you buy a diamond at retail is doent matter how well it holds it's value, you still will not see the same price unless you're selling it to someone as gullible as yourself, that thinks a diamond is a good investment. the only time it is an investment is when you buy it well under retail and sell it for near retail

I bought my diamond in Antwerp, the diamond capitol in the world.
Do you believe that diamonds and jewels possess certain auras about them?
Some people believe that jewels possess energy, and that some diamonds are capable of carrying curses and what not...
You also can supposedly cleanse the energy out of gems through certain rituals.
My mom does it occasionally with her collection of crystals.
It involves washing them out in the ocean/ salt water under a full moon I believe.

You can spiritually clean your crystals, holding them in your hand under the running tap if you mentally do the cleanse for them.
Kitchen witch protip.
Prisoner is right, prices of diamonds are artifical;ly high, its not really an investment.
Only purpose for diamonds in investment is if you need portable wealth, to smuggle a large sum of wealth in an ultra compact way.
A 5 carat (1 gram) diamond is worth as much as a house ($100.000-$500.000) and can easily be swallowed.

I just learned most of those facts myself not too long ago when watching a show called "Adam Ruins Everyhing". Highly recommend that show to everyone who likes learning/knowing things.
