With the advent of lab created diamonds, semi-precious gems and other alternatives in the market, I’m not surprised. Honestly, if you really need to have a diamond, go find an estate jeweler and haggle like crazy. There is no need to invest 2-3 months of salary for a stone. Go on a vacation or use the money for a down payment on your own place. In the end, it’s a rock. It loses most of its value the moment you walk out of the showroom.

Digital electronics are cooler and more interesting than jewelry.

Interested in overpriced stones? No, I don’t think people are.
People are already preoccupied with overpriced food and housing.

Even if Genz were interested in them, they can’t afford them between the cost of housing, healthcare and student loans.

Can’t they just go into the lucrative money laundering racket.
“Why yes IRS, I sell small stones at a 9000% mark up for a living. Why do you ask?”

I’m so old. The last time I thought about diamonds, I was reading about how millennials killed the industry.
Next they’ll say Gen Z is killing the napkin industry.

these articles are either clickbait or just ads in disguise.
