Your question can be answered by defining the terms.

Ore is a solid material from which a metal or mineral can be extracted, while diamond is classified as a mineral formed in rocks. No process except cutting away excess diamond can change a mined diamond, in this case into a gemstone.

Diamonds are erupted to the earth's surface from deep within its mantle where they are formed. Ore exists in veins, more or less, laid there by the process of eons' worth of deposits on the earth's surface.
