Diamonds are essentially compressed carbon but the method of mining and selecting the best quality is what makes them precious. When the carbon is at a very high temperature and under very high pressure, the bonds are formed. Natural diamonds are made 180km below the earth’s surface. The temperatures at this depth are between 1100o c and 1400o c. The diamonds are then cleaned up, cut and polished.

A diamond ring is usually composed of a diamond stone -- an allotrope of carbon -- and metal, perhaps gold, platinum and so forth.

So, no. A diamond ring is not make from a rock.
