Something has occured to me.

The word diamond has two distinct meanings

1) A gemstone

2) A particular type of rhombus. (A 2 dimensional shape)

Because the show is centered around gemstones everyone is assuming that meaning 1) is what is being used.

BUT every example of a Diamond seen in the show is NOT a gemstone, but rather a rhombus. So it actually makes sense to conclude that when the word Diamond is used in the show they are refering to the second meaning, a 2 dimensional shape, NOT A GEMSTONE.

The next logical conclusion would be that the shape is a symbol of an office/rank/position of authority. Any Gem could hold that position, regardless of what type of Gem they are.

For example I am now a Moderator on the S.U. TheoryZone Wiki, so my name now has a yellow diamond SHAPE next to it. Am I a Diamond? No.
