From Wikipedia:

"The history of diamond cuts can be traced to the late Middle Ages, before which time diamonds were enjoyed in their natural octahedral state-anhedral (poorly formed) diamonds simply were not used in jewelry. The first 'improvements' on nature's design involved a simple polishing of the octahedral crystal faces to create even and unblemished facets, or to fashion the desired octahedral shape out of an otherwise unappealing piece of rough."
