The real myth is that diamonds are extremely overvalued and a poor "investment". Anyone who does a bit of research can bust this myth: Go to a reputable jeweler and ask the specs of a $5000 US (purchase price) stone of each: diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, and topaz. Next, ask the jeweler what they would pay you for these same stones should you be offering them for sale to the jeweler. You would be lucky to get $1000 for the diamond. The others ? Check it out and see why diamonds are one of the biggest ripoffs ever. Truly rare and valuable gems appreciate in value. Diamonds depreciate the moment you purchase them (like a piece of crap automobile).
