The entire perceived value of diamonds is completely artificially created

So is the perceived value of paper money.  And precious metals.

Gold is actually scarce and has many uses outside of monetary or currency value. To give you an idea, all the gold thats ever been mined in history would only make an estimated  68.8' cube. 

I have it from a reliable source that all the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills in somebody else’s name.

How did Brees find out the real worth? 

Did he have a mole? Let's face it, this investment could be quite the blemish on his portfolio. 

The article states that they had the diamonds appraised by an "expert" in Houston (presumably for insurance purposes).

Are you dreaming about California? Because it don’t matter at all where you’ve played before.

And that gold cube will be located in Leander

I tell people that, outside of a small investment, if you need to invest in gold for the apocalypse you’re better off spending the money on ammo.  

why not both?

Among the most egregious examples Brees' attorneys pointed to was a diamond ring Moradi sold the Breeses for $8.1 million that was actually worth $3.75 million.

I don't get the problem. This is what jewelers do.
