Probably not. Not even human bones are consumed in a standard house fire.
In regard to the above, calcium is a metal, believe it or not your bones are made mostly of metal (alkaline earth metal). Diamond on the other hand is pure carbon, an allotrope of carbon like charcoal, except with the atoms placed together in different positions. Diamonds and charcoal are made of the same stuff!
Believe it or not, diamond (pure carbon) leaves no ashes behind, it is all converted to carbon dioxide gas.
So, in a fire, if you have a ring that had a huge diamond, if after the fire, there is nothing left in the mounting, it was most probably cubiuc zirconium or some other fake rock. If there is something left after a fire then you know you had a diamond.
Another Answer
Diamond is the hardest mineral known with the highest melting point of any mineral: 3820 degrees Kelvin, or 6416.33 degrees Fahrenheit, or 3546.85 degrees Celsius, which is far hotter than one would expect in a 'standard house fire'.

∙ 12y agoDepending on how long the fire burned, and where the ring was positioned in proximity to the 'hottest' part of the fire, the metal might melt: the diamond would survive.
