What goes with ruby, emerald and sapphire to make up the world's most valuable gems?

It's silly though, because diamonds are not even rare... it's just that the market is controlled. And engagement rings.... were entirely a very successful Israeli marketing campaign by De Beers. (blood diamonds & price fixing included).... which is why the new diamond laundering ::cough:: "clean diamonds" are being offered through Tiffany and such. Who wants a clear white stone anyhow?

Ziela1313, brown and black diamonds are more common than than clear ones. They were originally only used for commercial applications until another successful marketing campaign in recent years by the jewelry industry started pushing "chocolate diamonds". If you want a truly rare stone get an alexandrite or red emerald if you can afford one. If not, a high quality natural emerald, ruby, or sapphire is more valuable now and will always retain its value better than a diamond... because their value doesn't depend upon false scarcity. However, I'm writing this for others because you won't be reading it. The most important thing for a stone you're wearing everyday is to get something you love and if a black diamond does that for you, that's all that matters. :-)

Player #4694363, Who even cares about diamond when you can have opals? The most beautiful ones are the so called "black" opals from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia. Malachite is lovely too.

Montana Lady, Agree! Diamonds are too common. Had mine changed to a black diamond. So beautiful. Under jewelers scope its pure rainbow!

I'm so sad😟I have 0 likes

Player Mollycule, I like my birthstone. Peridot, the Hawaiian Diamond. My children are Hawaiian 3 of which share my birthstone.🤗

not ambiguous at all. its a question with 1 deffinate answer.

Can we all say "Duh!"

Montana Lady, I thought de beers was a Dutch company ? so why you saying Israeli?

If you want a truly rare gemstone try Benitoite. Discovered in 1911 in San Benito County, CA (the primary source for the stone). Small deposits found in only 4 or 5 other locales in the world

I have heard that tanzanites are precious gems, too. They are such a beautiful purple color!

Montana Lady, millions love those clear sparkling stone that send fire as they move. And I thought de Beers was a Dutch company 🤔!!!!!

Montana Lady, I do. Lol. I love clear diamonds 💍

Nirvana girl Jade!, Tanzanite!

Player BARTEMAEUS 10, I adored my black opal ring I once had..it was definitely my favorite piece and precious,I got as a gift and adored it for years as well was AlWAYS complemented on it even before my diamonds,it was accented with diamonds as well but I NEVER took it off til I lost it in the ocean and noticed as soon as I got out the water..I definitely miss that piece and think 9f it often even tho I lost it 25 years ago

I Love you dh4rshi

it is ring not diamond no!😐

I don't understand why diamonds are so expensive!!! they're cool,but what are you gonna do with it???

Others:The answer is diamond me:the answer is that picture 🖼️

I didn't spell it right! 😆

Montana Lady, I do that's how South Africans get rich, Because for some reason westerners enjoy these useless gemstones, Though if I have these useless segymstones to sell at exorbit rates I can get rich myself thank you.

This question is so far off from reality...a quick search on the web would clear it up for anyone...

Diamond isn't the most precious and valuable gem in the world. Even it is more precious than the other metals such as gold, ruby, emerald, sapphire, pearl and obsidian, but a very metal called platinum is more than a diamond. We think that a diamond is so rare that we need to struggle to find a diamond and to pull it out from its hidden source. But it is a matter of wonder that There are a number of diamond sources in Africa continent. In the area of Johanesberg in South Africa, there will be found the sources of diamond which is almost 60-70% of the whole world.

Player #14785174, I love my birthstone also which is a ruby. I also like the sapphire because blue is my favorite color.

Nutshell, That's totally what counts... If it's something that you like and possibly has meaning to you, then it's a precious stone or jewel.

Montana Lady, it's 400,000€ worth

I just guess😉

I got the wrong spelling of diamond

Montana Lady, Tiffany's diamonds are one of the cleanest though, as they own their own mine. The rest you wrote is 100% correct.

Ya, actually, I think I have a nice question about the same as fortuna CA diamonds, So why is fortuna CA diamonds very very shiney?

Who cares about diamonds when you can have all the money in the world 🤑🤑🤑

Montana Lady, diamonds are overrated

I wrote that and it did not even go through

Player Eeyore, "Duh"

Agreed! You just have to compare the rarity of paraiba tourmaline or tanzanite to see how silly the obsession with diamond really is.

diamonds are precious stone

I am take the diamond to be rich

I new that question I couldn’t find the letter though.
