How Diamonds Are Cut

In their most pure type, diamonds are nicely fairly ugly. They haven’t any luster or shine,
and in reality, appear like nothing greater than
damaged glass. A diamond has to be lower, and
then polished earlier than it truly turns into a
the factor of magnificence.

Diamonds are lower with saws, into spherical
shapes. From the rounded form, different
shapes could also be lower, resembling coronary heart shapes
? however the form is much less vital than the
high quality of the reduction that’s being achieved. If
the diamond is poorly lower, it’s going to lose gently,
and it’ll not sparkle and shine very nicely.
Each aspect of the diamond have to be
fastidiously lower into the geometrical shapes
that enable the diamond to glitter and
shine, then all the diamond is lower into
a selected form, resembling an emerald lower
or a princess lower diamond.

Once the lower is completed, the diamond is put into
a dop, which resembles a cup with one other
diamond  solely a diamond is robust sufficient
to clean the sides of one other diamond.
Once the diamond has been lower and formed,
and had the sides smoothed within the dop, it’s
polished on a scarf or a diamond sprucing
wheel.
