It’s a diamond, Michael. What could it cost? $10?

We have somewhat affordable healthcare and higher education in my country and I know zero people who own diamonds. Her statement is amazing lol.

fr my most expensive piece of jewelry is a lab created opal ring that i bought for £29 in a sale and even then i was thinking "do i need this?"

sadly the scarcity is the whole appeal... once lab grown diamonds really hit the market then we'll start getting like, celebrity moon rock engagement rings and shit lol

Ugh I'm sick of rich people boasting about their riches. After molly mae wearing obscene amount of jewelery from making money off sweat shops and now this. Can we millennials actually kill off diamonds pls and fast fashion. Thanks.

Also what a PR misstep after spending a whole year profiting off solidarity.

ive stopped going on instagram for a bit because i realized i followed so many rich people and i was so *sick* of seeing sooo much excessive materialism - constant overpriced handbags, designers clothes, fancy jets and secluded vacations like such behaviors is gross as hell when you look at the state of the world
