>>So why do I have to buy my future fiance a diamond to experience that moment? Why not give her a piece of coal? It's the same element/material, just in a different, albeit less attractive, form.
Try gifting her a piece of coal and watch.
Really why should you wear a suit? Or why should you wear a watch? Or why should you dine a good restaurant?
There are a few emotions attached to a few things. Like for example Roses.

Many people are questioning the first two. :)
"good restaurant" is not quite precise: if you meant "popular", "chic", people are questioning that too. If you meant "has tasty food", then the analogy doesn't hold.
That's the whole point. Coal is a hyperbole here, but her special attitude towards diamonds is something manufactured artificially around 50-60 years ago.
