Because of this there is an impact on the price of diamonds, that is not insubstantial since owning a rock for a piece of jewelry means it's not being put to work in a factory. That's an actual waste of money, because you are over valuing a worthless rock.

Similarly, it is asked, what's special about diamonds?

Beauty — The colorless beauty and inner fire of the diamond has made this precious gem prized for centuries. Each stone's complex characteristics cannot be duplicated, and no two diamonds can ever be the same. Durability — A diamond is the hardest substance known to man, making it resistant to deterioration.

Why Diamond has no resale value?

The reason resale prices for diamonds are so low compared with retail prices is that jewelers buy diamonds in bulk, at wholesale prices, which are much lower. The retail price you pay for a diamond at the store is higher because it includes overhead expenses, such as rent and personnel salaries.

Because diamonds are very hard (ten on the Mohs scale), they are often used as an abrasive. Most industrial diamonds are used for that purpose.
