I am from India and I have not heard of magical stories associated
with diamonds other than the ones from India, which makes it unique
and special. There's nothing biased here about it. I did quote what
I've so far gathered from my surroundings. I have come here to gather
more information. Here in India diamonds are worn mostly to ward off
evil effects of planets only upon consultation of an expert
astrologer.


Except those sold in engagment rings...


I just checked some of the diamond rings they do not expose the
surface of the diamond to touch the skin check some engagement rings
here http://www.jamesallen.com/engagement...litaire-rings/.
Astrologically diamonds can be adverse for the owner if it does not
suit him/her. So, I assume jewelry merchants are taking this into
account when manufacturing engagement rings accordingly.

On the other hand rings in India are purposely made in such a way
that, stone placed in the ring is directly exposed to the skin.
See example
