De Beers to Sell Diamonds Made in a Lab

Do not fall for their schemes, /pol. They are trying to flood the market with synthetic diamonds, which are indistinguishable from natural diamonds of the highest quality, so they can insist that synthetic diamonds are not "special". Thus, your prospective wife will not accept anything but a ridiculously priced natural diamond, which will be a sign of luxury.

>De Beers will target younger spenders with its new diamond brand and try to capture customers that have been resistant to splurging on expensive jewelry. The company is betting that it can split the market -- with mined gems in luxury settings and engagement rings at the top, and lab-made fashion jewelry aimed at millennials at the bottom.

>“Lab grown are not special, they’re not real, they’re not unique. You can make exactly the same one again and again,” Bruce Cleaver, chief executive officer of De Beers, said in an interview Tuesday.

>Lab grown are not special
Just what women want to hear. Men don't give a shit about diamonds. They're only going to sell if women want them. Better to promote competition between women and get women to shame their friends for not having big rocks on their hands.

This company is the only reason you have to pay 10,000 for an engagement ring. They hoarded the natural supply of diamonds. They singlehandedly invented the engagement ring diamond meme. With the advent of synthetic diamonds, the value of their stockpile of natural diamonds has decreased. So now they are trying to pull another fast one on consumers by convincing you that synthetic is lower quality. It is not.

you know you want to click this video.....

Real diamonds arent even special rare or unique. Ask that prick how many carats of diamonds de beers mines anually

I don't need to click the video to know their stupid meme is losing relevance and DeBeers to liquidate with its executives ASAP

it would be nice if someone who didnt want to jack the price up as high as possible was making synthetic diamonds. diamond is a useful material and a massive reduction in cost of diamonds would benefit humanity.

Blood diamonds

If you open the ring box and your girlfriend does anything other than start beaming close the box and walk off because she isn't worth it.

Guarantee you women will know within days which boxes/brands are natural and which are fake.

Perceived value is relative. A blood diamond I kill for in Africa myself is worth infinitely more.

the only diamonds i own are on my diamond tipped drill bit

Ahh I love being reminded of all the perks of being a homosexual. The only diamonds I have to worry about are on my drill bits, if you know what I mean.

This company and others like it are relics of days gone by. They're just clinging on as long as possible before the inevitable.

>JEWelry
Makes sense

>Lab grown are not special, they’re not real, they’re not unique

yes they are real. they are just the same carbon lattice as every other diamond.

you are correct my good sir

I watched the Horizon doco in 1999. Some Russian geez had been manufacturing & passing off the synthetics for a good while, then someone noticed they GLOW IN THE DARK.
I forget why, maybe because they have a perfect molecular lattice or something. They 'hold' the light for a moment in any event.
I wonder if they've found a way to diminish the effect since then.
Also, debeers began mining diamonds by employing niggers to crawl across the fields filling buckets. They likely have tonnes upon tonnes stashed away from their cornered market.

Perceived value certainly is relative. Actual market value isn't.

Wait DeBeers is bitching about it but doing it?

De Beers holds onto 95% of their supply just to keep the price artificially high. actually, if all the diamonds in the world were put on the market, the price of diamonds would fall 99%. thats how common they really are. its the most ridiculously overpriced mineral on the market.

>>“Lab grown are not special, they’re not real, they’re not unique. You can make exactly the same one again and again,” Bruce Cleaver, chief executive officer of De Beers, said in an interview Tuesday.
NO ONE WANTS THEM. REAL DIAMONDS!!

>THEY WILL JEW US WITH DIAMONDS!
Just devalue diamonds for christ sake. Im surprised no one on here thought about waging a normei friendly campaign to destroy the value of 28% of Israels income. Make rubies, opals, sapphires and emeralds the glorious gem. The diamond is a soulless, colourless gem with no natural beauty.

All of us could deprive Israel of more then a quarter of its GDP and yet we sit on our laurels debating. Hit the Jew where it hurts him the most. The wallet is the only way to wound these creatures.

i think the tradition of exoensive wedding rings is obsolete in modern welfare states especially with high female employment.

used to be a woman needed a man, because jobs for women were scarce. she needed to stay with her man to feed her kids. if the man left her at least she would still have the ring which could be sold for food and shelter to buy her time as she seeks out a new husband.

thats my theory anyways. but when she gets half her husbands assets on divorce she really doesnt need an expensive ring.

lets just switch to wooden wedding rings, lol. lets you demonstrate that youre married without the unnecessary and costly expense of a stupid diamond that has artificially inflated value anyways.

>tfw proposing to my gf soon
Moissainite is redpilled right?

This will get shilled down because it holds value, You guys want to hurt the jew? Wage a campaign to devalue this desolate barren gem. Not too long ago they did the same thing to the other gems. Now we should destroy that value they built for no reason.

Diamonds are a meme to prevent/ subvert/distract Goyim from buying GOLD.

They are also the only useful ones. If they are not on a tool I really don't see any value to them.

>The only diamonds I have to worry about are on my drill bits, if you know what I mean.
You did cock piercings instead of engagement rings? That's kinda degenerate user.

I think you're likely going up the right path here, something has changed for them to want to legitimize fake diamonds, there's literally no reason for them to on the surface but they've probably figured out how to corner that market as well.

Give her a mug with a ring handle, but put it in a box so that only the handle can be seen

Doesn't this look beautiful? more beautiful then the rings that look so manufactured? Do you want your spouse to have a ring like a million others or one that only she will have?

A few things wrong. Lab grown diamonds are virtually impurity free making them more clear and depending on the cut, eye catching. The diamonds also can be created to fit in any existing rings, necklaces etc. repurposing vintage or antique pieces. Lastly, under a microscope the lab grown diamond (as well as the natural diamond) come with laser imprinted markings indicating the type and origin of the diamond.

if they are indistinguishable then they are diamonds

Do you actually think people want diamonds because they're fun to look at? Well, it's a little bit of that reason. But the big reason is because it's rare and expensive. That's why women want diamonds, because it makes them feel special, rare, and expensive. They wouldn't feel special if diamonds were plentiful and fairly priced. It's about what a woman feels knowing someone spent a shit ton of their money getting her something expensive that lasts forever.

>giving a shit for some overpriced crystal, literally just super hard glass.

I rather like my Baccarat chandelier though.

>not buying blood diamonds
and demanding proofs

exactly
and if debeers wasnt such an asshole monopoly the price of dimanonds would drop drastically and we would all have more diamonds on our tools.

i wonder if theres a way to cover a screw or a bolt with diamond so that it would last forever without stripping the thread or grinding away the hole for the screwdriver, or rusting. that probably isnt possible though i dunno. forget i mentioned it

They hold almost all the natural diamonds in the world. The value of their stockpile has decreased significantly with the advent of man-made diamonds, which are extremely difficult to distinguish from natural ones. Impossible to the naked eye, you need a special machine.

What do you do if you want to make as much money as possible off your huge stockpile of natural diamonds? Convince the world that "lab-made" diamonds are not special. The best way to do this is to flood the market with these lower priced diamonds, while maintaining the high price on your "luxury" natural diamonds.

They are entirely identical. So why would any reasonable consumer pay ridiculous prices for a the exact same product? Because unreasonable consumers (women) will demand it. They are trying to convince the world that if you REALLY love your fiance, you will shell out the extra cash for their diamond meme.

>wanting diamonds socked by niggers, demanding said nigger blood on your diamond.

nigger it don't make it pink

rings are just status symbols. did you know its very common now for women to go with their fiance and pick out their ring, so they can make sure he doesnt buy an ugly one.

>can grow perfect diamonds in a lab

Too bad they'd crack extremely easily

>It's about what a woman feels knowing someone spent a shit ton of their money getting her something expensive that lasts forever.

This. Not to mention how important it is as a status indicator to women. Men don't really give a fuck, but other women consider the size and quality of the ring on a woman's hand when making their first impression social pecking order decisions.

I would absolutely argue that it isn't so much about their man making them feel special, it's mostly about being feeling more special than the women in their social circle around them.

Giving a woman a cheap shitty ring is like balding and walking around in a shirt that says "my cock is only 4 inches" as far as mate status signaling is concerned.

I'm amazed the jews allow him to do this?
>I still want to punch his punchable face

Not scratching is the easy bit,and sapphire is almost as good and used already in some places, making the screen difficult to shatter is the trick, diamonds wont help.

>Baccarat chandelier
You know crystal and diamonds are different, Pedro?

>buying a diamond because the vaginal jew and the mining jew tell me to

They can both go fuck themselves. If she really wants one she can waste her on money on a useless shiny stone. Just like she can buy her waste of money clothes and handbags. I'm not spending one penny on useless shit.
>hurr durr that's it takes to get a woman
Then I don't want one ever again.
I'm not falling for any more tricks in my life.

Do you walk around with end mills in your pocket? There are phones with synthetic sapphire screens that are rated at an 8 on the Moh's scale.

>both are clear crystals
>one is actual cool and artisan with designs
>the other is over priced and literally sold for more by taking off less for meme cuts.

>your prospective wife will not accept anything but a ridiculously priced natural diamond
DO
NOT
MARRY
THIS
WOMAN

Okay this meme is funny again.

>by convincing you that synthetic is lower quality. It is not.
In fact, one way to tell if a diamond is real or not these days is to look for small flaws, synthetic diamonds are considered "too perfect". Historically the less flaws the better, but now companies like De Beers are trying to change public mindset to favour their natural diamonds with noticeable flaws

And they’ll charge a lot for them too. This is not new technology. The (((De Beers))) have simply killed everybody else who tried or bought them and patented it

>not getting your wife a wedding band made of gold you mined yourself

>can't detect sarcasm

Are you autistic?

No he obviously doesn't you retard you're preaching to the choir

If my wife demands a diamond I'll tell her to eat lead, and then send her back to the Holocaust camp

>falling for the dumbest, but most successful, marketing campaign in history
Good goy, buy my artificially expensive gems.

>De Beers to Sell Diamonds Made in a Lab
10 times cheaper = jews fucked over as usual

a symbol of her status as a married woman should not require me to empty my bank account. if she wants people to think shes wealthy she can buy an overpriced handbag or some retarded shit herself, with her own money cause im not funding that.

>you cant do that, women need blah blah blah
women wont respect you if you let them walk all over you. the diamond ring is a symbol that she has a man that will submit to spending a large amount of money on some stupid bullshit, she probably loses respect instinctually for the man that buys this.

right off the bat, marriage day one, and youre already showing her that this marriage is all about her making you do things you dont want to do. and thats not a marriage that will last

>wife asking for a diamond
HUE
Just tell your mistress and your gf to beat that whore so she can learn her place.

Artificial diamonds are perfect, which makes them fake, they have no natural traces weaved from their mother mine

women know their bodies are valuable to men. they can get away with this extortion

>ooh, Aleksandra, what a beautiful ring Mikhail bought for your engagement! It is a natural diamond, is it not?
>N-no, Alessia, Mikhail is a poor greek with many denbts. If he really loved me, he would pay Mr. Goldstein extra drachma's for the same product.

buy an empty box.

yeah, but if the men want to keep the women, they cant let them get away with it. if you let a woman extort you, shes going to cheat on you. her instincts crave a man who is strong enough not to be pushed around like that.

the diamond ring is like a giant shit test. women say they want one thing, but they will punish you if you give it to them by fucking someone else

Grooms can get away too by buing a hot pressed "diamond" @ 1/10 the expense :D

decent argument

You DO realise, that NATURAL diamonds come ten-a-penny, yes? (rhetorical)
Or that one guy - that's ONE fucking GUY- owns 90% of all the diamond mines in the world, whereby he collects and stores the vast majority, a veritable MOUNTAIN OF DIAMONDS, and once yearly, he sells a SPECIFIC amount to SELECT buyers, so as to artificially inflate their worth? (again, rhetorical)

Ah, must just be me then.

>buy her fake diamond
>tell her its natural
Wow, that was hard.

We dont jews in here nigger good ole Hitler gassed them off , all jewellers are armenian or greek like my granoa :D (eat shiet kiike)

Blood diamonds is another Debeers meme. They aren't more or less ethically mined, they just don't want competition. So rather then having the market get flooded they ban the sale of diamonds internationally from a bunch of places.

Are you implying that a Greek would ever allow himself to be caught in a lie? He'd buy a moissanite ring and tell her it was his grandmother's so she better not have it appraised because it would be like watching her die all over again.

By 1937 De Beers had stockpiled some 40 million carats, about a 20-years supply.

Threatened with bankruptcy, he decided to create a market himself.

Oppenheimer sent his son Harry to New York to work with Madison Avenue strategists on a campaign touting the four "C's" of diamond perfection -- cut, color, clarity and carat -- helping sales to increase more than 50 percent in two years.

A new custom was declared - diamond engagement rings -- with the slogan "a diamond is forever."

Oy vey, shut up fuck

Despite being a huge scam, the history of the Diamond market is fascinating.

I'm pretty sure Adam is a Jew.

>she wants to insure her diamond
>has to get it appraised first
>finds out you're a cheap liar

sounds like a great way to get cucked then divorced desu. the $5000 you save on the ring will probably cost you 7 figures over the life of her alimony settlement. AT LEAST YOU SHOWED THOSE JEWS THOUGH!

I want legit "blood diamonds" preferably without going to Africa and getting AIDS / Ebola, how do?

>your prospective wife will not accept anything but a ridiculously priced natural diamond
>indistinguishable from natural diamonds
hurrr

>Jow Forums - diamond news

>I'm pretty sure Adam is a Jew.

He stole the idea for that video from me.

Items with imperfections are a niche market. Most consider them unacceptable, but some seek them because they think they are hand-mades, uniques, or one-offs. We have a glass window sheet in testing with a bubbly foil between two layers of glass that makes it look like there is condensation around the edges. All the patterns are unique, yet why would someone want their window to look like their house is moldy as shit, is beyond me.

>has to get an engagement ring appraised before the wedding
>Wow she failed my shit test and saved me years of an empty marriage

I just gently explained how cruel real diamonds are to poor innocent little black kids and that a cruelty free solution i's the more perfect lab diamond.

My wife actively guilty her friends now for having "cruelty" diamonds.

Shit women actively buy cruelty free makeup daily. I just piggy backed off that.

That’s actually what my friend did as well. They just went with straight gold bands. Even better than wasting money on a fake diamond. I don’t think it would work on every woman though.

Yes but did you expose the diamond to radioactivity to color it ? Pff autralians.

How would you say "oy vey" in greek?

>make marriage expensive so people wait longer to get married or end up breaking up before marriage anyways
