3D-Mobster, your diamond looks great. I tried to build maybe that same Blender mat, but it kept coming out too dark and too blue. I couldn't get it right. Of course, I didn't use a good diamond object either. I tried building one from a Bucky ball and cone, but it was too sloppy. I've gotta get a good diamond object.

Might also be because you are not using an HDRI map to light the scene, otherwise it will have nothing to reflect etc.
