I'm stuck in what to do I have found diamonds where I were carving out my underground fort and don't know weather I should extract it but no longer able to have an engraved wall or just simply engrave it. What do you guys normally do when it comes to gems vs engraving walls.

Engraved walls actually do increase room value.  If the gems are common you may just want to smooth and engrave them for an even look.  If they're rare you can always fill them in later.

gems worth more than engraved walls and you can just put like 4 furnature pieces where the energaved walls would be. or 4 filled coffins

There's a material multiplier for walls in addition to the engraving skill, so it really depends on what laborers you have at your disposal, a legendary engraver is going to make a much more valuable gem-embedded column than a novice mason will a gem-encrusted table.
