Girls love diamonds because they've been brainwashed by the DeBeers monopoly (starting in WWII) into believing that diamonds are rare (they are not), and valuable (only artifically so). The world's supply of diamonds is so vast that if the free market were allowed to trade them, they would cost only a few dollars per carat. Through mass marketing and subversive cultural manipulation, diamonds have grown from a common, everyday semi-precious gemstone into the world's most popular, treasured possession. It's all a farce. Real women with real wealth know this--and they don't care for diamonds. In fact, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are far more beautiful and scarce.

Because they've been conditioned to by advertising.
Without testing, most people cannot tell the difference between a natural diamond and a CZ. What does that tell you?

Because they are expensive, and girls like the thought that someone is foolish enough over them to spend that kind of money on them for a simple piece of carbon with no intrinsic value.

Because it sparkles and shines. Also probably due to the fact that its expensive...something like why would you go for designer brands rather than a cheaper brand.

Not all of us do. Blood is shed for them and I don't really see much point in that.

No idea. They are not my favorite stone, Other gems would appeal to me more.
