He's the wizard that created the spells. You totally could cast them without diamonds if you just altered the formula or phrasing, but he happens to own a pocket dimension full of diamonds

Society has come to expect you use the spell that requires a diamond. “I know we could revivify with a sapphire, but I’ve always wanted to do it with a diamond.”

And everyone thinks the spells destroy the diamonds but they really teleport them back to the pocket dimension

In the D&D world, the name isn’t De Beers. It’s De Owel Beers.

I was thinking "De Bears", and it's just a pyramid scheme full of Bugbears and Owlbears with monocles and hats and sparkle rocks.
