In it's natural state, diamonds have many different shapes, although a perfectly grown diamond crystal would have the shape of an octahedron, which is a bit like two egyptian pyramids base-to-base.

A cut diamond has as many sides as the gem cutter gives it. From a top view, most diamonds are cut to be a circle, and the most common cutting plan for a diamond is cut with 57 or 58 flat sides, or 'Facets'. But is does depend on what the gem cutter is trying to achieve.
