We don't deserve this detail or production quality in such a neat little bundle. Ridiculously good, Henry. Well done as always

It's worth mentioning that Europe and the USA were very much into other precious stones when the diamond inception began.
De Beers did a lot to tarnish the reputation of those other stones: bad luck, magnet for ghosts, illnesses, etc. while perfecting the reputation of the diamond as something pure and as unbreakable as some holy spirit.

I watched a bunch of your shorts and I think you do a great job on them. You have a good look and voice and your delivery is full of excitement and energy without going over the top. I also like that you are kid friendly with the language. Keep up the good work.

My significant other and I already chose a down payment on a house for our family over a rock. After this, I'm reassured we made the right choice regardless of how society judges us.
Thanks for yet another amazing video, your screen magic is top notch 😙👌

[timu.ti.]

These videos are so damn immersive. This is the quality content that deserves recognition.

[Haizou]

This is SUCH a well executed video..honestly idk how this isn’t more popular

[tobias]

Don't forget, when some nasty competition shows up, call their product "blood diamonds" and declare them evil.

[HasanDemo]

This is absolutely creativity with a bunch of knowledge. Thank you Henry!

[justrens]

Why does this have under a thousand views? He deserves more

[Mars-wscm]

PLEASE make more videos. these bring joy to my days

[ijudgetakes]

Man this is one of the best YouTube videos I've seen in a long time. The quality is insane.

[ELIDEWITT]

Your ability to explain things while making high quality production like this has gained you a subscriber..
Great content😁💯

My wife hates it when I mention that her engagement ring will never be worth what we paid for it. It’s beautiful, sure, but if it appraised for anything near what I paid, I’d be shocked.

As a south African, let me mention a little bit about Cecil Rhode, not only was he a crazy monopolistic maniac, but he had placed the roots of what we had called "Apartheid" (separateness) in afrikaans which caused great racial segregation all the way until 1994, he also would seperate black diamond miners from their family and keep them in really poor conditions, not to mention slavery had been abolished, but since the people were getting payed "probably around 5-10% the cost of a diamond" it wasn't considered slavery, he also wanted to capitalize on the whole of Africa and build a railroad from South Africas Cape Of Good Hope to Egypt.

[mohamedamro]

Idk why, but your videos are just amazing 🤩

[nandanvb]

These videos are amazing! Please continue making long form content!

[Meleotta]

That's why the villagers love emeralds.

This guy deserves some respect. Can you believe this guy only pushed 500 views 8 months ago? And so he did for over 2 years before he gained tracktion. This guy should be a role model for any young aspiring youtubers out there.

Reminds me of a star trek episode. Where they convinced that alien to buy a huge diamond. 💎 first the alien said he had no use for a useless shiny rock. He wanted an engine for his starship. They told him on earth he could buy a whole fleet of ships with that one shiny stone. That when he brought it.

20+ years ago, I watched a documentary the truth about diamonds just before I got married. It stated almost everything this video mentioned. Can't remember the title tho. Told my wife to be that I will never buy her diamond jewellery. But I bought her the monetary equivalent in gold jewellery.
Apart from the rare one, diamonds never hold their value. Try and see how much that $10 000 you paid for diamond ring can get you at a pawn shop vs. a 916 gold ring.
