The Diamond Dilemma

The Diamond Dilemma refers to the paradox where diamonds, often seen as highly valuable, are created through natural processes that take millions of years and require significant energy, yet their widespread marketing and symbolic status inflate their perceived worth. This disparity raises questions about the true value of diamonds versus their scarcity and importance as a symbol of love. Essentially, it highlights how the value of diamonds is largely socially constructed through marketing and tradition, not inherent rarity or utility.
