  • The $200 BILLION Lie: How De Beers Invented the Diamond Engagement Ring
    Jan 16 2026

    You think diamonds are rare? That’s the most successful lie in marketing history. This video breaks down the century-long strategy by De Beers to engineer a global monopoly and manufacture the illusion of scarcity for a common commodity.

    We dive into the dual approach that created the "forever" myth:

    1. Iron-Fisted Supply Control: We analyze the mechanics of the Central Selling Organisation (CSO), the cartel that dictated prices by stockpiling excess stones and using punitive market flooding to crush competitors.
    2. Psychological Engineering: We detail the creation of the "A Diamond is Forever" slogan and the insidious "Salary Rule" that successfully linked financial sacrifice to eternal love, transforming a luxury purchase into a cultural necessity.
    3. The Hidden Moat: How De Beers systematically suppressed the resale market to hide the stone's drastic depreciation (40–70% loss) and ensure used diamonds would never compete with new inventory.


    #DeBeers #Monopoly #MarketingHistory #ArtificialScarcity #BusinessStrategy #CaseStudy #LuxuryMarket #LearningBizCraft #learn_invest_earn #investbuildgrow The 'forever' myth is now facing its biggest threat: lab-grown diamonds. Is De Beers' 100-year-old marketing strategy finally dead, or can they invent a new lie? Tell me your prediction for the future of the diamond industry in the comments!
