s/reasons/diamonds' only purpose as jewelry is to show you spent a lot money on them/.

Even the article misses this. Literally the only reason people buy diamonds for is because they want to show that they burnt a large sum on it. If you buy fake diamonds, other people shame you because "I didn't burn the sum so you could reap the same social benefits without actually wasting your money", so fake diamonds have a stigma attached to it.
