    according to that, natural diamonds seem to have bee pretty much on average holding their value, while lab grown rocks are bottoming out

      Natural diamonds pricing is controlled by an oligopoly, so even if demand is down they might keep the price high for the purple of keeping diamonds as an expensive thing.

      I don’t really buy my jewelry as an investment 😅 not sure I personally see the point in it holding its value

      If I wanna get rid of it why buy it in the first place…?

        Of course this isn’t true for any of us, but one of the reasons some people wear a lot of expensive jewelry is so they have something of value if they need to bug out quick. Also cops will steal all your cash but rarely your jewelry.
