If that is true, where can I buy second-hand diamonds for a fraction of the cost?

I've looked and I can't find any.

Hmm I cant seem to find any listings that include the colour or clarity so I assume those are all pretty low value diamonds anyway?

Pawn shop?

I don't know if they actually do this but I imagine if you sell your ring to a jeweler they can send it off for the band to be melted down the stone to be polished and re-set so the resulting ring is resold as "new."
