Why was the diamond chosen for the wedding ring? why not something else?

is there a reason why wedding rings have diamonds in them?? (besides being pretty) is there a certain meaning or reason behind it?
and is it a bad thing if i want a sapphire or ruby instead of a diamond in my wedding ring?? i don’t know if it would be a bad thing.. i don’t really like diamonds.. haha.

Good question! lol very interesting it really got me thinking….here’s what I found! This will answer your question about its meaning!

You could have a sapphire or ruby in the ring with diamonds. That would be very unique and pretty. Like these!
