I'd rule out trying to replace that tiny piece with wood. Try a dab of stain where the raw wood is revealed. It will hide it at least enough to make a better first impression. If you need an actual diamond there, building up a few dots of tinted epoxy will give you some structure to cut down into shape.

Thanks very much for your suggestion on how to dress this up. I'll see what I can do.
