I think diamonds get a bad rep because of shitty companies like De Beers who artificially pump up the price of diamonds. I don’t think anyone would have an issue with diamonds if their price range was comparable to amethyst and made ethically.
Yup. We got diamonds for my wife’s ring, but we paid a reasonable amount (<$1k; pretty small but pretty diamonds) and we were told they were ethically sourced. I hope that’s true, but we’re only a small part of the problem, if at all.
Most of my wife’s jewelry is her birth stone, which is way cheaper and doesn’t have the ethical issues diamonds have.

Ofc nobody would have problems with a rock if it weren’t used for violence, theft, exploitation, etc. But that’s not the case at all.

Synthetic diamonds are used for none of those things.
