Answer:

The greater the refractive index the more the light refracts. Glass has a refractive index of 1.5, water 1.3 and diamond 2.42. This means that light will bend more when it hits a diamond than it will when it hits a piece of glass of the same shape. It is partly this that makes diamonds sparkle so much.
