Diamonds,jewelry... all it's about possession of female, fel=male laves of the past (early wifes). The women needed something to show they belonged to a rich man, so they were painted, treated without heavy work and so preserve better hands and skin, and jewelry to show it more explicitly. Women would be proud of something at least, a "compensation" for have no power, so they would feel superior top other women and also give a message to poor man, the message rich women was not for them, like such women had a high value. Even the sensual slyle of arristocracy women, in clothes with jewelry and some cleavage, was to show rich women was not for poor man, in a way to rich people express their power.
With time diamond changed the symbolic a little bit and started to represent "credit card love" or "family".
I think it's ridiculous the small diamonds and people pride of it, such small pieces you can't even see. Just use to say they can handle the price.

If diamonds are forever, and since the human population cannot grow indefinitely, at some point everyone will have their diamond jewelry, and there would be little need to sell more.
