Diamonds are really a rip off - not an investment. If you don't believe me, try selling a diamond back, see how much you get for it. It won't be close to what was paid. I think they mark up diamonds about 50%, but they're not worth 50% more.

Absolutely. My mom sold a diamond ring that was almost 3 carrots and originally was bought for over 10,000. She got 2,000 for it. She went to several places and that was the best she could get. They even said gold is worth more than diamonds are.

Standard markup on jewelry in stores is 200 percent. If you can not get 33% off a piece of pricy jewelry, then you are talking to the wrong person.

Huge, varies by jeweler, resale value, minimal.
Apparently good for romance, lousy for investment.
