==Music video==
The music video for the song was directed by [[Dave Meyers (director)|Dave Meyers]] and the video as well as [[Making-of|behind the scenes]] can be seen on Rob Thomas's official website.

The video premiered on May 12, 2009 on [[VH1]].com. The video features American actress [[Alicia Silverstone]]. The video starts with scenes of a blue, icy, background. In this background (which is actually ice) reflections of Thomas singing are shown. Later, the video shows Silverstone completely trapped in ice and motionless sitting on a bed in a room. The sun shining through the window melts the ice until Silverstone is shown shivering. She falls to the floor, still shivering. Later, more scenes of Thomas singing are shown, and the video ends with Silverstone gazing out the window at the rising sun. The video reached number one on both Billboard's hot videoclips chart and VH1's [[VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown|top 20 countdown]].

Visual effects for the video were created by Baked FX.<ref name="BakedFXROBTHOMASHERDIAMONDS">{{Cite web|url=https://www.videostatic.com/content/watch-it-rob-thomas-her-diamonds | title=WATCH IT: Rob Thomas "Her Diamonds"| website=VideoStatic| date=June 12, 2009| access-date=August 30, 2023}}</ref>
