1) they expensive bruh 2) none of us kno the dif btwn a fucking diamond and some fancy ass glass ur capitalist rock hierarchy has no control over us

3) mostly mined with slave labor

4) Diamonds have no intrinsic value and are only expensive because of the global diamond monopoly held by the De Beers Company that has been scamming people for decades into believing diamonds were a rare and precious commodity.

5) there are so many other gorgeous stones for a fraction of the cost without any of the above drawbacks

6) dude if I have to choose between useless hunk of rock and food you know I will always pick food

7) People tend to see diamond wearers as pretentious and flashy and/or flaunting wealth that others may not have.

8) Diamonds go with so little, they’re actually horrible accessories, in my opinion.

9) Diamonds are the hardest substance on the face of the earth, so if I buy diamonds, it will only be in the context of a weapon hard enough to smash every bone in your body.

10) Dude there are weeks I can’t afford a bus ticket let alone a diamond 

11) Normal diamond jewellery doesn’t have much resale value anyway.

12) Short of grabbing one of those diamond microscope things few people can tell on a casual glance if your jewellery is diamond, crystal, or glass. So what’s the point.
