How Diamonds Are Cut

In their most normal structure, diamonds are – well – entirely terrible. They have no radiance or sparkle, what's more, truth be told, look like simply broken glass. A precious stone must be cut, and at that point cleaned before it really turns into a wondrous thing.

Diamonds are cut with saws, into round shapes. From the adjusted shape, other shapes might be cut, for example, heart shapes – however the shape is less imperative than the nature of the cutting that is being finished. On the off chance that the precious stone is ineffectively cut, it will lose light, furthermore, it won't shimmer and sparkle extremely well.

Every aspect of the precious stone must be precisely cut into the geometrical shapes that permit the jewel to shimmer and sparkle, then the whole jewel is cut into a particular shape, for example, an emerald cut then again a princess cut precious stone.

Once the cut is done, the diamond is put into a dop, which looks like a container with another jewel – just a precious stone is sufficiently solid to smooth the edges of another precious stone. Once the precious stone has been cut and formed, what's more, had the edges smoothed in the dop, it is cleaned on a scaif or a precious stone cleaning wheel.
