"Diamond-rich" is just another way of saying "rich in diamonds." Dua Lipa doesn't mean this literally, she has used this expression to state that the feeling her lover gives her is like feeling rich, or feeling fantastic. It is a metaphorical expression meant to express the intense emotions she feels. However, "[noun]-rich" is used to express that someone is "rich" in or has a lot of something. Ex: She's diamond-rich. She has over ten rings that are more than one carat. Ex: He's real estate-rich. He has over ten investment homes.
