NB: This is a joke. Do not eat or drink diamonds.

Feel free however to ingest any other precious stone or metal, no matter how toxic.

But I do have diamonds on the soles of my shoes. These diamonds however are not "blood diamonds" nor are they part and parcel of any international cartel, such as de Beers. The diamonds on the soles of my shoes are also not synthetic, such as zirkonia, although the soles of my shoes are made of a synthetic, rubber-like substance. The diamonds on the soles of my shoes are not in fact actual diamonds, they are pencil drawings of a diamond shape. I have used an official number 2 pencil employing graphite as the "lead". Using real lead could lead to accidental lead poisoning and as such is highly discouraged and is in fact illegal in many places (using lead I mean), although one could actually use lead to "write" as it is a soft metal. Do not swallow, lick, inhale or otherwise ingest lead unless you follow the first statement in the post (having read the following statements in this post before actually doing anything with lead).
Liquid mercury looks like something one might be able to write with but that really doesn't work either. In fact, mercury poisoning is possible just through skin contact. Among other things, mercury poisoning can lead to insanity (as we all know from "Alice in Wonderland" and "the Mad Hatter" - who wasn't angry really but actually insane). This insanity was verified by means of personal interviews in front of a review board of highly qualified doctors and the results of the MMPPI, the Minnesota Multi-Phasic Personality Inventory, the results of which should only be interpreted by qualified psychologists and psychiatrists.
This discussion did however lead (pronounced 'leed') Cab Calloway to compose that popular song, "Catatonia, Catatonia, What Makes Your Big Head So Hard?"
Thank you and good night.
