What does that mean?

Below you are a diamond, but you have not be polished.
In short you have a heart of gold and you are precious from the inside out. Lucky man

I think your partner meant a "diamond in the rough" which means that your goodness, love, and caring nature are aspects that someone would not ordinarily characterize you as having, but are often expressed in many of your actions.
You have a good heart but don't outwardly show it all the time.
You may seem like an "ordinary grey rock," but inside, you are a brilliant diamond.

Actually the correct phrase is "Diamond in the rough"...
It means the person is basically good, but needs some "polishing" around the edges. Maybe some etiquette, or table manners. Nothing major, and it's not an insult.

A rough diamond is one which is uncut, not polished. It does not display any of the beauty inside until cut and polished

It means your partner wants a nicer diamond that requires 4 Cs:
Cut,
Color,
Clarity, and
Carat Weight
Yup! the bigger the better. I think that's what she/he wants hehehehee

It means that the film4 soundtrack you wanted to know about is Marvo Ging by the Chemical Brothers.
