A laser can burn through a diamond and be used to "cut" it, though it might not be pretty. As for jewelry applications, the traditional method of splitting a diamond is to "cut" it with a hardened steel knife. The knife is finely sharpened and hardened, and placed against the diamond to be cut. The knife is then struck with a small hammer. Thus the action is one of splitting, not really cutting. The cut is carefully positioned as to take advantage of the internal crystal structure of the diamond. A hammer can be used to "smash" a diamond and break it, but this is a poor use for a hammer as well as a waste of a diamond.
