When Diablo 2 was first released, there was a sequence you had to go through in order to get the unique rings. In order to get the Stone of Jordan, you needed to first get the Manald Heal and Nagelrings.

All three rings are back in Diablo 3 (plus a bunch more).

The Stone of Jordan (SoJ) became a unit of currency throughout Diablo 2, to the point where Blizzard created a special event that could be triggered by selling enough SoJ's.

Does the Stone of Jordan in Diablo 3 have any special properties or significance that sets aside from other items in the game?

At this point I don't believe it is known. It may take some time after release for reliable information to coalesce. – Wikwocket May 15 '12 at 0:37
I see you edited this, but I'm unsure what you are now asking. If you are asking questions to participate in the contest, please try to ask "practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face," per the FAQ. – Wikwocket May 15 '12 at 3:53
@Wikwocket The edits are in response to concerns raised in Arqade Chat. The question ("Does the SoJ in D3 have any special properties or significance like it did in D2?") is both practical and answerable, based upon the specific history of the SoJ in D2. – Beofett May 15 '12 at 3:56
To get a SoJ in D2, you didn't need to have the other rings. But because of the way the unique rings dropped, the chance of getting a SoJ was higher or 100% if it was a unique ring. Simplified if a unique ring dropped, it would never be the same as the unique rings people had currently in the game. So if you had alle the other unique rings it was guaranteed to be a SoJ. – Holger May 16 '12 at 12:18
This garantee of identifying a unique ring as a SoJ when equiping other two unique rings has been fixes a long time ago. You could easily drop a dwarf star ring or a ravenfrost before droping a soj, even if you had both geared on you already – Marcello Grechi Lins May 16 '12 at 12:56

To downvoter: Sorry, but there isn't much more you can say to prove a negative. – bwarner May 16 '12 at 18:09
