Marketing exists to entice the gullible.Shiny jewellery is shiny jewellery,it could be a pearl, a ruby, a jade, or a synthetic. The value is in how the wearer perceives it.

I once had an argument with someone who wanted a barter system, and in the argument I said, okay well if you wanted to buy something from me for diamonds in that system, I would tell you no. Because I find no value in diamonds. And she could not compute why I wouldn’t want them. It’s all about the perceived value.
