Gram for gram, a gem-quality diamond is always more expensive than platinum. However, gram for gram, platinum is always more expensive that industrial diamonds.

It is important to keep in mind that diamond prices are kept artificially high because DeBeers hides away much of the diamonds they mine to exaggerate scarcity i.e. diamonds are a manipulated market (vs. a free market).
