Does the value of a diamond go down if it is cut into smaller pieces?
Your answer may depend on the clarity of the stone. A diamond with a flaw, say rated VVS1, that can be re-cut to remove the flaw so that it can be rated as Flawless, may increase in value after the work is complete. A diamond that loses carat weight in such a cut without increasing the clarity of any part of the stone or enhancing a fancy colour, may lose value, even when the combined value of the pieces is considered. This issue is a rare one, since most diamonds are about the size of a garden pea. It is an issue, however, that is faced by owners of large diamonds -- probably larger than 20 carats, and is especially a consideration for owners of very rare, very large diamonds, such as the Cullinan. When found in the early 1900s, the Cullinan weighed more than 3,000 carats and remains today the largest raw diamond ever found. Finally, remember that a raw diamond loses about 60% of its total carat weight when it is cut and polished to become a gemstone.

Can there be a sword made of real diamond?
The largest raw diamond ever found fit into the palm of a grown man's hand. (The Cullinan diamond, gifted to the British Monarchy in the early 1900s.) What this means is that you probably won't be able to find a raw stone large enough from which to craft a sword. However, even though the practical creation of a diamond-bladed sword is not currently possible, it is possible to shape diamonds in such a way as to cut other objects. In fact, most diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and other hard precious and semiprecious stones are cut using diamonds. If we ever discover an effective way to create artificial diamonds, diamond swords could become a possibility.
