Decorated, studded, or set with diamonds, or having a diamond shape or pattern.

Etymology

Past participle of the verb 'diamond', derived from the noun 'diamond' plus the suffix '-ed'. This form became common in the 16th-17th centuries when diamond jewelry became fashionable among European nobility.

Kelly Says

Medieval craftsmen would call a heavily jeweled crown 'diamonded' to show off their skill—the more diamonds visible, the more impressive the work. Today, diamonded jewelry is a symbol of extreme luxury and wealth.
