Yeah, the arguments about resale value seem ridiculous. Who's buying a wedding ring as an investment?

The argument about resale value is used to justify the purchase. The person buying the ring doesn't seriously consider it an investment, but it makes it less painful to think of it as one.

In Europe there are banks selling diamonds for "investment purposes".

I laughed very hard for minutes when I found that!
