To sign "diamond," hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing down. Form a "D" handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your index finger pointing straight up. Gently tap the thumb and curved fingers of your "D" hand against the ring finger of your non-dominant hand, right where a diamond ring would normally be worn.
