Logically, it's literally the hardest gemstone around and it also happens to look very pretty. I personally love the look of Emeralds and Opals, but they are so delicate that they would not stand up to daily wear and tear. Diamonds? You can abuse the hell out of it and it will look as nice as the day you bought it.
