I've got nearly one thousand total carats in investment stones. Most are rough (uncut and unpolished). Could always offload one to you/your friend. They are all gem quality. Most are premiums which I wouldn't sell or give up just yet.

However, marriage alone is not such a great ROI in general. But, even so, if he wants to do it, goodluck to him for sure. As for a ring, its very easy. Buy something with more sparkle. Girls love sparkling rings. So your friend's best bet here is to buy the lower grade, smaller carat stones, just pack them all in there, don't even bother with a larger carat primary stone surrounded by lesser carat stones. That's just going to eat a hole in his pocket. Also, jam pack it with insurance, but GET IT APPRAISED every 6-12 months. This way it becomes an investment diamond and not just "a ring of loooove".

As for what people say here, about them not being rare. That's not entirely true. Are diamonds themselves, as a standard stone rare? No. Are gem quality diamonds rare? Yes and no. The fact that mining operations can extract them faster I guess makes them not so rare. But then again, its a very controlled market. I don't want to get too deep into this topic on here, but let's just say that gem quality Rubies are far more rare than any white natural gem quality diamonds.

I keep saying gem quality because the majority of diamonds that are produced/mined/extracted, are used for industrial and commercial applications. They don't end up on rings or necklaces or up anyone's ass for smuggling or bank account boxes for investments.

....and the Rothschild firm doesn't own De Beers. Anglo American plc does. Yes, its true, Rothschild firm did finance it, and still retain a stake in it, but they are not the absolute owners. The Oppenheimer firm/family owned the majority for a very long time. But now, its actually majority owned by AAC, with the Botswana gov owning something like 15%. I know its less than 20%. AAC is a mining global conglomerate. So just wanted to set it straight before you start blaming Jews for everything. It pays to know what the fuck you're talking about first before you start in on it.

Of course, from a moral or even ethical stand point, that debate will rage on forever. The way I see it.. I can care less if they are rare or not. But the rest of the world, specifically the buyers and most women out there don't give a flying fuck if its real or not. So long as it sparkles and looks great and fancy, then the guys will keep buying them up, furthermore elevating the market value of my diamonds so I can keep flipping them and taking in healthy profits.

Choose your battles I guess.
