You can buy artificial diamonds for fairly cheap. Like, we’re talking so cheap that they’re put onto angle grinder discs.
It’s just propaganda/stupidity that folks continue to pay insane prices for mined diamonds. Well, in part it is the point, to spend a lot of money. If we didn’t treat diamonds as expensive, we’d find something else to waste money on. It’s not like diamonds were so beautiful or useful, that they were worth the price to begin with.

I looked up prices for artificial diamonds and “fairly cheap” is only cheap relative to natural diamonds. It’s still expensive (at least for me).
