I never understood the interest in diamonds. Outside of industrial uses, what's the point?

There's no point. Prestige? Social standing? The ability to show it off? They sure as hell aren't that rare and are insanely overpriced.

This is true. It's actually illegal for companies like de beers to operate in the United States due to the anti trust laws.
Diamonds are actually not all that rare. Gems like ruby are like 70 times rarer than diamonds, but are less expensive. The entire diamond trade is rigged. They restrict the amount of diamonds they sell to give it the illusion of being rare, which drives up the price.
