Diamond is very hard, but hard materials also tend to be brittle. You can scratch a hammer with a diamond, which demonstrates that diamond is harder than steel. However, if you hit the diamond with the hammer in the right fashion, the diamond would likely break. Since diamonds are very hard to cut, special diamond bladed edges are used to cut them. Diamonds are prepared using several different cutting and forming methods. They can be broken along natural planes of weakness in the the crystalline structure using a hammer and steel chisel. A diamond or laser can be used to make a scratch on the diamond, which is then broken with a hammer and steel chisel - a concept not unlike cutting glass. Saw blades impregnated with diamond dust on the cutting edge and lasers can also be used to cut a diamond. Diamond powder is used to polish diamonds.

Is cushion shape one of the best cut diamond?
There is no 'best' cut for diamond stones, since each stone's cut reflects the other valuable aspects of the stone. When a diamond is cut, its innate properties are always considered. Generally, a diamond is cut to minimize the number of visible flaws while maintaining its highest carat weight. Colour may be the largest variable, since colour can be enhanced using radiation. (Some flaws can be minimized using laser technology.) The 'best' diamond is one you can afford that is accompanied by a certified gemologist's report that details its colour, clarity, carat weight and cut. Whenever a diamond has been 'treated', that is also noted on the certificate, and will reduce the value of the diamond.
How is the value of a diamond determined?
There are four criteria for determining the value of a diamond, and they are called "The Four C's": Carat: How big is the diamond? (measured in carats) Clarity: How clear is the diamond? This is a measure of how many little specks of stuff can be seen inside the diamond (they are called Inclusions). Color: How white is the diamond? The yellower the color, the poorer its quality, and therefore lower value. (unless its a 'canary' diamond, which are supposed to be yellow) Cut: What style of cut is it and how well was the cut done? There are several different shapes that diamonds can be cut into including princess, baguette, etc. If the cut is too shallow or too deep, the diamond will not sparkle as well as it could. A person who is certified in appraising is required to determine a diamond's value, and they use these four criteria. Some of these criteria are somewhat subjective, so it is up to the individual appraiser to give his/her best estimation of its worth.
