Diamonds are very difficult to melt. If you heat them in air they burn long before they melt. It can be done under special conditions, but when they cool, recreating the conditions under which diamond forms is a whole other problem. You'd be likely to end up with graphite, the more stable natural allotrope, or amorphous carbon (soot).
