Diamond engagement rings
Eh Diamond is okay, as long as it's artifical. Better clarity and color, not contributing to the blood diamond trade, and a fraction of the price.
That being said, there are a ton of other prettier gems anyway, diamonds are boring as fuck.
I've heard a fair argument in favor of diamonds that their hardness means they last a lot longer for everyday use. Softer gemstones are more prone to wear and tear over time.
But as far as I know, that doesn't mean it can't be artificial.
Artificial diamonds are still diamonds! Just because nobody died to make it they are identical on a chemical level.
Diamonds are ok for what?
They are shit as an investment and as you appropriately pointed out there are better looking gem stones.
