How do you cut a diamond?

Glad you asked...
Since diamonds are the hardest substance known, I can understand why you are asking this question! The way it is cut is by lasers. Then there is a computer program that helps to shape it out.

Then again, this answer might help you...
The best way to cut a diamond is by using a sharp hammer blow on a sturdy blade. The hammer has to be held to the diamond surface. Some jewelers use a special saw with diamond dust to cut diamonds. You chose what works for you!
