What is diamond cutting?
Diamond cutting is the practice of converting a harsh diamond into a bean and polished gem or gem. When performing experienced professional diamond cutting significantly increases the value of stone, especially in the case of large diamonds, but it is also easy to make a mistake that could completely destroy the diamond. Diamond cutters traditionally train in apprenticeship and learn from master diamond cutters who are often family members. Diamantaire can be a diamond cutter or seller. In both cases, he knows everything he should know about diamans. Diamantaire can look at a rough diamond and see the potential in the stone and can assess a cut and polished diamond for color, cut, clarity and size of carat, look for the famous "four CS" that determine the price that the diamond can bring on the market.DS for thousands of years. Historically, it focused on maintaining high carat sizes, sometimes at the cost of brilliance. Old -fashioned slices can be large with minimal waste, but can produce dull stones. Modern cutting of DiamNTs try to minimize waste, but also focus on creating a stone that is glossy and brilliant, and sometimes it requires a reduction in 60% or more rough.
Diamond cutting process begins with planning. In small stones, planning is usually based on the inspection of the stone, whether there is no shortcomings and the choice of cutting the most suitable for shape. For larger stones and so -called fantastic diamonds, the planning process is more complicated. In the case of decorative diamonds, color retention is an important aspect of the cutting process. Thinking about the shortcomings in the stone is also critical because it develops a cut that will reflect light to create the brilliance of Associs diamonds. Some stones require cuts rather than generic and a large amount of mathematics is involved in the planning phase.
Furthermore, the stone is put or cleaved along the existing defect to cut into a rough shape. Sometimes a large stone will be divided into several pieces for cutting and polishing withAMOSTAT, while in other cases large pieces of coarse are removed during this phase. Furthermore, the diamond is twisted or written, a process in which the stone is wiped against another diamond to develop an aspect. This process can develop friction and high heat, so stones can be cooled during the repetition process to prevent cracking. After repeating, the diamond can be polished, washed and sold.
This fine diamond cutting process is only used for diamonds of gem quality, because industrial diamonds may not be prepared with such careful attention. Some diamond cutters manipulate stones than diamonds such as emeralds and rubies, while others focus only on diamond work.
