Seems pretty narrow minded. Of course engagements rings are symbolic. The best symbols are deeply rooted in cultural context anyway.
If diamonds aren’t the best symbol for you that’s fine, but try not to fool yourself into thinking you’re being more rational. You might have different priorities or values.
You might also just be a 2 dimensional NPC with nothing to share and therefore no need for symbolism. /jk

The irony here is that diamonds as engagement gifts given by males to females (why not the other way round btw?) have very shallow and well-documented roots. Moreover, given the exploitation around it, it's really bad to found your marriage on if you really think about it.
