Call it a few thousands years of training women that their success is measured by landing a man who can provide them with the most wealth in the form of jewels. Women are still obssessed with them, and men being obssessed with women, buy them. I ask my wife at least once a month how many chopped off African hands she thinks went into getting her diamond engagement ring.
