dripping with diamonds/oozing diamonds (from every pore)
if there are lots of them... (depends on what they mean - coming to the surface (?) could be interpreted as "oozing")
"Dripping with diamonds" is idiomatic

drenched in diamonds
Or something like that.
"Diamonds under the skin" is just not correct.
"Skin-deep IN diamonds" iwould be a correct phrase, but gives the idea of someone in a pile of diamonds up to their neck ... which would be very, very expensive!

Diamonds on your skin
Diamonds on her skin - Here's diamonds for you. A passion for diamonds.
"Under the skin"? This sounds like implants and is not really appropriate, I think.
