Doh, I should have waited to buy the ring…
Diamonds. Possibly the world’s most artificially priced commodity, strictly protected by the De Beers diamond cartel.
Maybe not for much longer. (Also good for a read, straight from the Slanty archives, a blurb about how damn difficult it is to sell a diamond for its “appraised value”. check it out)

Damn glad I got Kate that Ringpop.
The re-sell value of ringpops is also very low
I’ve paid almost as much for a cat, and their resale value is also very low (and they are higher maintenance than a diamond…)
