When the economy is not dependable, cosmetic gimcrackery always is and it goes up, up, up.
London, England
The Apollo blue diamond and the Artemis pink diamond earrings are displayed at Sotheby’s auction rooms. The earrings, the most valuable ever to appear at auction, have an estimate of £62m-£87m

Ed: what good is a single earring?
Unknown. Maybe you're supposed to wear both because it's, oh, so trendy to have a different color for each ear. Only £150m and you can go straight to the top of the fashion charts.
Ed: you could trade them for a couple of those new F-35 fighter aircraft
They don't even work. That's a bum deal for sure.
Ed: oh, a diamond works so hard, does it?
How about an aircraft carrier. I could really dig having an aircraft carrier for personal use. Monte Carlo would never be the same after I tool into the harbor with that. All those sheiks will need to trade off their paltry yachts for boats which aren't so tiny.
Ed: ixnay on the aircraft carrier, Admiral. You will need a whole pile of those crumby diamonds for an aircraft carrier.
How about Mount Rushmore. Is that for sale?
Ed: we might be able to work a deal on that one since Trump wants to sell off the Federal land.
I just want to blow them up and he won't care since his face isn't up there.
Ed: good point but I doubt you will close the deal for £150m. Probably the deal will only go if you also bring a leaky oil pipeline.
I'm better off getting the crumby diamonds then.
Ed: that's right. You need the big bucks for the really criminal stuff.
