I get really annoyed when people call their purchase an “investment”. People are calling buying a ring, a truck, or a TV an investement, like that would justify the purchase.
No wonder Americans are constantly broke.

It’s silly because the rain if a dowry (where the act of giving jewelry is hailing from) is as a financial back up for the (family of) the bride. This got commercialized by de beers to become the most romantic tradition, but as a purchase you are just buying a bunch of shiny carbon that depreciates by 40% when you exit the store. If that’s your money worth, then be my guest.
