The main disk of the Sun is blocked by the Moon. The much dimmer corona becomes visible. Typically, the total eclipse lasts about two minutes. Then, you see the diamond ring again and the total eclipse is over.
During a solar eclipse the moon blocks the Sun on a particular region of the Earth for a few seconds, creating a "diamond ring" effect moments before the actual eclipse.
