Diamond

The Diamond is generally the most valuable jewel that can be found in the Castlevania games. It is often found embedded in a ring, which is sometimes called the Diamond Ring, and is associated with the Holy attribute, healing and Defense.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania II: Simon's Quest===
The first appearance of a Diamond in a Castlevania game took place in Simon's Quest, although instead of being a jewel it acts as a thrown sub-weapon that ricochets on every surface it touches.
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
First appearance of a Diamond as a jewel in the series, where it is referred to as a "Highly Valuable Ring" and comes in the form of a sparkly diamond attached to a ring. It can be sold to the Master Librarian for 20,000 Gold, having the highest value of any other jewel ring, being more valuable than an Opal (5,000G). The Diamond is extremely rarely dropped by the Jewel Sword (if ever).
===Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance===
The Diamond is also the most valuable gem in this game. It is worth 1,000G (which is considerably less in proportion to other gems appearing in other games), which is more valuable than a Ruby (600G).
===Castlevania: Lament of Innocence===
Using a Diamond with a Jewel Crush causes recovery of all status effects and all HP.
===Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia===
The Diamond is an item that by itself does nothing. It is one of the items needed to complete Laura's "A Heartwarming Accessory" quest. If the player brings Laura a Diamond and an Onyx, she will make available the Diamond Ring (greater Light offensive power), Diamond Pins (greater defense against Light), Onyx Ring and Onyx Pins at Jacob's shop.
Diamonds can first be found inside rare green treasure chests in Tristis Pass (and other areas later on), but most likely, the first Diamond the player will have access to is found in Oblivion Ridge, in the next room after Gravedorcus's boss room. The item can be found by breaking the bottom left wall that is behind a Stone Rose.
==Other Diamond items==
Because Diamond is the hardest natural substance known to exist, any piece of equipment that is made of it tends to give more defense than any other of that type of equipment that is not supernaturally enhanced. The Diamond Plate is the most durable non-enchanted armor found in whatever game it is found in. Charlotte Aulin has a "diamond set" that maximizes her Defense. It consists of the Diamond Corset (+32) for the body, Diamond Shoes (+6) for the legs, Diamond Tiara (+10) for the head, and the Diamond Brooch (+5) for the Accessory.
The Brilliant Diamond Bracelet can be worn by characters in Castlevania Judgment and has no in-game effect.
