No, diamonds were actually kind of second-rate for a long time, medieval jewelry tended to favor flashier colored stones like rubies, emeralds, etc.

Although to be fair, this was in part because diamonds are hard to cut and they don't look good without faceted cuts. Diamonds only started becoming popular in the late 1800s when South African mines started producing them in bulk and modern cuts were developed, and they went mainstream once the De Beers marketing engine kicked in after WW2.
