Cheap Diamonds

If you’re like me or my wife, you get a kick out of doing exactly the opposite of everyone else and then doing your best to make it look really cool. Psychologically, it can be described as a severe overreaction to being excessively dorky as a kid and wanting to reject trends entirely, due to prolonged social isolation in high school. It’s also called “peacocking” amongst the pickup artists. The objective is to wear something ludicrous and be completely secure in it and that way use the strength of your personality to attract others. Today, let’s talk about peacocking with excessively cheap diamonds, otherwise known asindustrial grade abrasive cheap diamond bort.

Bort is essentially the cheap diamond garbage of the diamond industry. Since not every stone can be perfectly formed, some diamond crystal material is so malformed and twisted and cracked that it is unusable for jewelry, and therefore, these cheap diamonds are used only for industrial purposes. Luckily, the fact that they’re ugly does not effect their chemical properties, and they remain as hard as any other diamond. Cheap diamond bort is used mostly in diamond-tipped drill bits which are used, in turn, to dig for treasures in the earth’s crust, one of which could be diamonds, but is usually oil or coal.

It is not difficult to find cheap diamonds in the form of bort on the net. As a matter a fact, here’s a link to some really cheap diamonds at $8 a carat, but you have to buy a minimum 1,000 carats. If you can convince people in this postmodern culture of ours that wearing cheap diamonds is awesome because it brings us closer to nature or true beauty or something like that, then you could make a pretty hefty profit off of an $8,000 bort investment.

To start that trend, you’ll have to start wearing these cheap diamonds on your necklaces, your rings, everywhere. And then walk around acting really cool and carry one of those pimp walking sticks and glue some cheap diamonds on the end of it. Then walk into a post-modern jeweler in one of those towns seeking its identity like San Francisco or something and tell the owner that cheap diamonds are so in and you’ll sell them for $50 a carat.

Soon everyone will be wearing cheap diamond bort on their engagement rings and you’ll put the drill bit companies totally out of business.
