If you're looking for long-term investments, get rid of the diamonds.
I've done a lot of research about them over the last month or so, and it
looks like manufactured diamonds are going to be in very good shape to
cause a huge industry shakeup within five years. I ended up buying one
anyway because of the immediately associated non-monetary value (ie, the
woman it's attached to), but I don't expect the stone to hold its
appraised value over the next ten years.
