There is no absolute answer.

The number is continually changing. Not only are more natural diamonds mined, refined, and perhaps split into multiple pieces, but synthetic methods of producing diamonds (usually for industrial purposes) are also used extensively.

Interestingly, the number can go down naturally as well. Diamond under normal ambient conditions is actually thermodynamically unstable. Over geologic time, diamond will alter its structure and will eventually turn back into common graphite.
