What is an event that must occur in order for diamonds to reach Earth's surface?

'Allow' means to make possible, so you could say that erosion allows diamonds to reach the earth's surface. But it's more interesting than that.
Diamonds are formed deep within the earth's mantle and are erupted to the surface -- or near the surface to account for erosion, as above -- by volcanic pipes.

Another Answer
Diamonds are blasted to the earth's surface by way of a volcanic pipe. The trace mineral kimberlite is an indicator that diamonds may also be present. Only one in 200 occurrences of kimberlite identification in a volcanic pipe produces gem-quality diamonds.
