Usage notes
- For the gemstone, diamante is standard. Brillante usually means a cut or something shiny, not the generic stone.
- In jewelry, use un diamante for one stone; diamanti for plural. Don’t confuse it with diamante as an adjective in English loan usage.
- For baseball, diamante is understandable but less common outside sports contexts; campo da baseball is safer in general conversation.
