Diamonds being the hardest natural substance, can be used to carve, cut and polish anything, including another diamond. Their optical properties are also of value as high-quality, microscopic lenses that don't wear down.
Incidentally, they also look very pretty when cut and polished correctly, so people like jewellery and ornamentation made of them.
