Rough to Polished

My brain is not adjusting to the cold weather and snow that has come our way. So instead of reading about diamond cutting I found another great video for everyone to watch. The video gives you an idea of the entire process and some of the steps of how the rough stones are cut and cleaved to the final product. There is a lot of work that goes into the making of a diamond and the science behind cutting is incredible.

Thank you Antwerp Diamond Industry for putting together such an informative video.

Brilliant has diamond cutters available so that we can take your chipped stones and recut them to optimize the return value on salvage. Understand that cutting diamonds is a risk and that a diamond can “explode” on the wheel and shatter into small shards of diamonds. Cutting a diamond is always done at the risk of the stone owner. The cutters do their best but can’t always predict what might happen. We usually recommend selling the diamond “as is” unless there is significant gain to the potential loss. Most dealers will buy a chipped stone and recut it themself. That way they are in control of the process and the final outcome. We will always let you know the cost associated with each diamond, time frame and potential outcome. We look forward to helping you with all your colored stone and diamond cutting needs.
