minus-square veroxii ( @veroxii@aussie.zone ) linkfedilink8•1 year agoYou as a normal person can’t really sell a diamond for anywhere near the price it cost you. Even though almost nothing can damage them. Gold has a spot price and you can generally sell gold to a jeweller for spot minus a small margin. Not so for diamonds.
minus-square federalreverse-old ( @federalreverse@feddit.de ) linkfedilink5•edit-21 year agoJust avoid buying diamond jewelry. They dramatically lose value as soon as you walk out of the jewelry store.
