In it's purest form, cut actually refers to the proportion, symmetry and polish. But today most people just think of cut as the simple "shape" of the diamond.

They range from the most popular round brilliant to marquise, pear, oval, emerald, princess, heart, cushion, ascher, and the list goes on. Some are more radiant than others, which typically dictate how long they will be cut by jewelers.

The GIA website has a great page on diamond cut.
