Marketing companies leverage what is already there. Car companies didn't brainwash men into wanting "rugged", "angry" looking "trucks". They merely recognised the slightly pathetic tendency for some men to want to make themselves look bigger and tougher.
It's the same with diamonds. They work because there is some underlying seed of possibility and they have simply been the best at exploiting that.

Marketing companies leverage what is already there. Just compare today's problems with problems from 200 years ago and you'll see how many of them were created ad hoc.
