My Mom Says I Should Sell My Diamond and Ruby Set for Gold. Is She Right?

I have this beautiful ruby and diamond set that I was thinking about selling. It's in 18k white gold and weighs over 63 grams. A local jeweler just offered me around $8,000 for it. My mom has always told me that gemstones and diamonds are not a good investment. She thinks I should convert it to gold instead, so I was planning to sell the set and do just that. But when I told my husband about it, he was not happy at all. He said a good quality ruby is rare and that I would never be able to find a set like this at the same price I originally bought it for. I'm totally torn now. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. #Jewelry #Diamonds #FinancialAdvice #Investment #RelationshipAdvice #Family

Just inherited Grandma's old diamond rings

My grandma passed away, and she left me these two rings. They look pretty old, especially the one on the left which seems like an old European cut. I think the one on the right might be too. They give off a real 1930s Art Deco vibe, so I'm guessing they might have belonged to someone even before my grandma. I would NEVER sell these unless I absolutely had to. I know there must be so much family history tied to them. Miss you, Grandma. 🖤 #FamilyHeirlooms #Diamonds #VintageJewelry #Grandma #Jewelry

She found her own diamond for her engagement ring

Micherre Fox didn’t just want any diamond—she wanted one she dug up herself. After two years of dreaming and research, she spent a month camping and digging daily at Arkansas’ Crater of Diamonds State Park, braving heat, exhaustion, and even a stolen shovel. On her last day, she unearthed a 2.3-carat diamond, one of the biggest found there this year. For Fox, the real value isn’t in the gem’s price, but in the story and effort behind it. Would you go to these lengths for something truly meaningful? #News #Diamonds #Arkansas

Diamonds, But Make Them Even Harder

Scientists just pulled off a wild feat: they created bulk amounts of hexagonal diamonds—yep, the kind found in meteorites and rumored to be even tougher than regular diamonds. After 60 years of searching, they finally made enough to actually test how hard they are. Turns out, these new gems are just a bit harder than classic diamonds, but making them is still super pricey. Could this be the next big thing in tech materials? #Science #science #diamonds

Arkansas woman digs up her own engagement diamond

Imagine finding your own engagement ring diamond after two years of searching! That’s exactly what Micherre Fox did at Arkansas’ Crater of Diamonds State Park. She spent weeks sifting through dirt and finally uncovered a sparkling 2.3-carat white diamond—now named the Fox-Ballou Diamond. The park’s “finders, keepers” rule means she gets to keep her treasure, making her proposal story truly one-of-a-kind. Over 360 diamonds have been found there this year, but only a handful are over one carat. Would you ever go on a diamond hunt for your own ring? #News #Arkansas #Diamonds

Scientists Just Made a Super-Diamond

Diamonds are tough, but this new lab-made lonsdaleite is next-level: 40% harder than regular diamonds! After 50 years of trying, researchers finally cracked the code by squeezing graphite under insane pressure and heat. This rare hexagonal diamond, usually found at meteorite crash sites, could change everything from industrial tools to electronics. Imagine diamonds that don’t just sparkle—they can survive extreme heat and pressure. The future of ultra-tough materials just got a major upgrade! #ScienceNews #Diamonds #Innovation #Science

Diamonds Just Got Outshined?!

Turns out, diamonds might not be the hardest thing out there after all! Scientists have figured out (with some wild supercomputer simulations) that if you squeeze diamonds under crazy pressure and heat, you can create a new form of carbon that’s 30% tougher. It’s called the BC8 phase, and it’s so rare it’s only been seen in silicon and germanium before. They haven’t made it in real life yet, but the science is wild—imagine a diamond upgrade! #ScienceNews #Diamonds #Innovation #Science

Diamonds You Can Actually Keep?!

Imagine digging in the dirt and finding a diamond worth thousands—then just walking out with it! That’s exactly what’s happening at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. It’s the only place where you can hunt for real diamonds and keep whatever you find. People have scored gems big enough to pay for college, all for a $15 entry fee. Pro tip: go after a rainstorm for the best chance. Would you try your luck at this real-life treasure hunt? #Diamonds #TreasureHunt #ArkansasAdventures #BucketList #FindersKeepers #Travel

De Beers Ditches Lab Diamonds—Why Now?

De Beers is saying goodbye to its lab-grown diamond brand, Lightbox, and going back to basics with natural gems. Why? Lab diamonds just aren’t sparkling in shoppers’ eyes, and prices are dropping. If you were hoping for a budget bling boom, it’s on pause. The real drama: De Beers is slimming down, and its parent company might sell the whole diamond biz soon. So, if you spot Lightbox deals, it could be your last chance for affordable sparkle! #diamonds #DeBeers #shoppingtips #luxury #retailnews #Business
