Fully dash/POSIX shell only compliant.
Uses terminal escape codes for fun.
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/dash
# DIAMOND.sh
# POSIX compliant, with no input error checking.
# Using terminal escape codes just for fun.

echo "Enter minimum value:"
read -r MIN
echo "Enter maximum value:"
read -r MAX
printf "\033c\n"
STRNG="* "
COUNT=1
STAR="${STRNG}"
HORIZ=34
VERT=4
while [ ${COUNT} -lt ${MIN} ]
do
    STRNG="${STRNG}"'* '
    COUNT=$(( COUNT + 1 ))
done

STAR="${STRNG}"
COUNT=$(( MAX + 1 ))
while [ ${COUNT} -ge ${MIN} ]
do
    printf "%b" "\033["${VERT}";"${HORIZ}"f${STAR}"
    STAR="${STAR}${STRNG}"
    COUNT=$(( COUNT - 1 ))

DESCRIPTION

METHODS
