Diamonds are really rare and now that man made diamonds can fill the void much cheaper for industrial use, the cost will keep coming down.

Actually diamonds aren’t rare at all. DeBeers just mines them then stores them in vaults and doles them out to keep the price up. I wouldn’t waste $10 on a diamond.

Man made jewelry grade diamonds are a thing. They are made in huge numbers now. People prefer them because they are damn near perfect!.....................
