Slogan/Repetition/Virtue words/Bandwagon/Beautiful People/Euphoria - As it persuades both men and women (especially women) over decades that a diamond is the ultimate gift of love, romance, happiness and forever commitment. Men need to "join the crowd" like the beautiful people in the advertisement, to pay the highest compliment --- diamond, to make their significant other happy.
I don't wear a diamond, don't own one, as my own little protest against the marketing of diamonds. Don't get me started!!
