I've heard that diamonds brought to the surface from the depths below change with time cos they don't experience the pressure anymore.
I heard that you won't be able to tell the difference because you're not a jeweler.
Personally, I think it's good people value 'natural' diamonds more so they can get ripped off by being sold synthetic diamonds and told they're natural.
They won't be able to tell the difference, and they have enough money to fund their stupidity.
I have a feeling that you're implying negative critique on me.
Just telling what I heard, mate. I don't know is it a fact or not. I don't use or buy diamonds and I don't know much about them.
Cheating people is not cool.
One thing you could do would be to get the diamond checked to find out its authenticity.
Cheating rich idiots is definitely cool.
They only got rich by cheating others, so it's all fair.
While that may be the case in many situations, I doubt it is in every existing case.
Or they inherited it from someone who took advantage of others, correct.
I guess you can make an argument for restitution.
"Rules for thee but not for me" works both ways you know. Attempting to justify your shitty actions to get ahead is just declaring your selfishness. You should be rich, you're already in the mindset.
I bet you watch ads on videos.
Cool, good for you
Lol, got'em.
