The rappers fell for smaller piece with less gold but "better ccc diamond quality" finesse. They up charged as they should for the vvs stones BUT that doesn't mean the diamond will sparkle more than si stones, especially against yellow and rose gold. Now they're paying outrageous prices for custom jewelry where a large part of the surcharge is from labor.
You can't even look at the sh1t as as investment because as the price for gold goes up, it will never beat the surcharge that they paid for labor and other "service fees". We also know that diamond value is grossly inflated, especially those little ass parcels of diamonds that they use to flood these pendants.
Rappers are whores and they encourage our youth to be whores just like them. They give their cash to the jeweler for their butter and these non black jewelers invest in sh1t that appreciates. They also take their money and invest in their kids futures while whores like Offset get sued for child support.
