In diamond cutting, the process of shaping a rough diamond into a rounded form by grinding it with another diamond.
From French bruter (to shape), used as a technical term in gemology since the 16th century.
Bruting is a specialized art—master diamond cutters spend years perfecting this skill where two diamonds are ground together, each diamond shaping the other in a meditation of precision.
