diamond cutters

Crystal facet craftsmen

Diamond cutters are craftspeople who cut and shape rough diamonds into polished gems.

The term also refers to the specialized tools used for this work—wheels, saws, and blades tipped with industrial diamonds, exploiting the stone's hardness to cut glass, tile, or other diamonds.

In slang, diamond cutters describes visibly erect nipples: It's so cold in here I've got diamond cutters.
