It'd be nicer if it gave us whole ones, then we could make them into stuff more easily... but really, when it's talking about free diamonds, getting nitpicky about it seems kind of silly.
The whole ones are given for duping the other team completely, I expect, but I would rather have a half diamond than no diamond at all. A piece can be set into metal, with backing over the cut side, like as a brooch or a stud.
Ah! I'm not good enough with metal to do that yet, I think. My only jewelry-making experience has been 'wrap some wires around something to attach it to a necklace'... still, it's nice to have the materials on hand.
Well, just looking at them makes sense too. I do the same, but mostly with things like— jars of the floating sparkles, or other stuff like that. ... Although I guess if jewels just floated around in the air I'd probably have more of those too.

If you're careful and don't handle them too roughly, you can shoo them into a jar, and they'll stay there until you let them out.
