On one of my James Bond special features it has an interview with I think John Barry and he said he told Shirley to sing the song like it was about a penis .. instead of diamonds.
You can kind of see the connection in the lyrics:
"They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,"
"Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see every part,"
.. and yes, Shirley didn't write it, it was made for the movie (along with Goldfinger, John Barry was the best Bond composer)
