No. Diamonds reflect any available light, including moonlight, starlight and other ambient light.
If you were deep within a cave without light -- in absolute darkness -- your diamond would not shine.
In absolute darkness, for example, inside a closed cave, a diamond would not be visible. A diamond depends on a light source in order to reflect and refract light. Any ambient light, from the moon, or a streetlight or candlelight will be picked up by a diamond and cause it to shine.
The moon seems to shine at night, because it reflects the light given off by the sun. We can not see the moon's reflection during the day, because the sun light is too bright, but, at night, the moon reflects the light given off by the sun and we can see it.
reflectAnother AnswerCut and polished diamonds both shine and reflect under available light.
stars do shine in morning but when compared to sun's shining their shine is nothing that's why we are not able to see stars in morning
because sun cant shine on the whole world at once

The answer for their brightness is the refractive index of them. the light which inters the diamond does not come out because of total internal reflection into air whose refractive index is close to vacuum's i.e 1. hence diamonds shine a lot. It has a lot to do with the cut. A good cut allows it to reflect light.
