Exactly. No matter the cause of WHY diamonds seem to be valued so highly in societal worth, the fact is, well, they are.
You COULD not get your wife a diamond ring, you COULD not take her out for Valentine's day because it's a made-up holiday, you COULD not get her a Christmas present because you think it's a commercial holiday, etc. But... well good luck with that.
