More people buy cheap diamond rings than expensive ones, doesn't mean the cheap ones are of higher quality, all sales shows is a good price and a certain level of quality and more ofen than not sales goes hand in hand with marketing, NOT a direct measure of quality.

You've just made the same mistake as so many others in this thread.  A diamond ring is not a form of entertainment; the quality of jewelery can be scientifically measured without bias.  Entertainment cannot.  Sales=Quality is a formula that can only be applied to things entirely subjective in nature, like entertainment. 

But onto that ring.  The scientific measurements in terms of quality would include the mass of the precious materials (the preciousness somewhat determined by the opinions and tastes of the population, might I add), the purity of each of them, the length of time it took to fashion the materials into the ring in question, and the distance it had to travel to reach the market.  Two rings equal in terms of the aforementioned attributes should have the same value provided they are both released within the same population...if it weren't for the artistic angle as well.

Some designs would be more appreciated by the customer than others, and the one that the customer likes the best would likely be the one purchased.  Given a dozen choices of rings of the same price, the customer will purchase the one preferred.  In this process, the quality of the work is determined.  The inferior designs won't sell so easily and will have to be adjusted in price to reflect its value, superior designs will increase in value.  The formula of Sales=Quality influences things thus, but since jewelery is not a form of entertainment or exclusively a piece of art, your example is an unsatisfactory rebuttle against my formula.

Funny because you dont address any of the rebuttals that are actually valid. For example, Porn >> other entertainment.
