They reflect light much better at higher clarifies, so it's more obvious at a distance that you can afford the GDP of a small country on your neck as some kind of weird flex.
I don't have any diamonds, I'm not a ferret who likes shiny things so I'm not interested anyway.
Then again other than a wedding ring I don't wear, I don't have any jewelry either, so I guess it's not diamond specific.
