Building with it

Seven diamonds give six armour points and 495 uses. Leggings sit between the chestplate and the boots in both price and protection, and they are the piece most players craft last, since a full set of four is nearly a full stack of diamonds all told.

In practice

Leggings are the piece most often left as iron while everything else goes diamond, and that gap costs more than it looks: the leg slot carries the second largest share of damage reduction in a set. Seven diamonds closes it, and the same pair later upgrades to netherite without losing anything.
