OP’s example of his wedding ring is absolutely not case in point; the value of his ring is it’s weight in gold. Whatever _sentimental value_ he may hold for his ring has no bearing on any rational actors choice to buy the ring. Apple, Microsoft, Walmart and, gee, I don’t know, any of the other F500 corporations don’t make it there because “they fail to value their products and services”. They pay real people, real wages, to produce real things, that are sold further down the supply chain. These aren’t imaginary objects and figures.
