So what's with the diamond ring?

Other than the beauty of a diamond, what makes the diamond any more special than other gems such as a ruby, emerald, amethyst, topaz, etc?
Perhaps you were to get the partner their birthstone set in a ring. Would that not be more significant as it has more meaning?
As a society, does price say more than they actual symbolism of the token? Culturally no, stereotypically yes?
