The only aspect of a diamond that is altered by an artisan hand is the cut. A diamond goes from the rough stone to the brilliant beauty because of the cut. The cutter will make precision slices to ensure each facet leads to the perfect amount of refraction. The refraction of a diamond gives it the reflective fire through light dispersion. This will lead to a more expensive diamond.
All the cuts will follow an exact map; otherwise, the diamond will not have any luster. Diamonds that are cut too shallow will lose light through the bottom, and diamonds cut too deep will lose light through the sides. Neither mistake will result in a perfect diamond.
Humans have cut diamonds since antiquity. The finished diamond takes multiple steps for a perfect result. The stone is first marked and then sawed or cleaved, splitting the stone with the grain of the crystal, whereas sawing is splitting the crystal against the grain. Cutting is a slow process; in the case of some of the largest diamonds in the world, it can take years! After the cutting/cleaving is finished, the cutter uses bruting or rounding. Once the rounding is complete, it is time to polish the diamond for the finishing touch.
Today, cutters have the advantage of current technology to finish the eternal symbol of love. Machines aid the cutter in aligning the perfect arrangement of facets to achieve a brilliance that people from antiquity would not recognize. Our knowledgeable staff will help you find the diamond rings of your dreams.
