The diamond cutter and his field of activity

One of the tasks of a diamond cutter is to first make a pre-selection of which gemstones are only suitable for industry and which are also suitable for processing into jewelry.

During the cutting process, the diamond cutter first saws the rough diamond into a rough shape. The table facet is then created and the girdle - the widest part of the diamond - is cut. Next, further facets follow on the underside and crown of the gemstone. Finally, the diamond cutter polishes the surface of the gemstone so that it appears as brilliant and shiny as possible.
