Changes Of Rough Diamonds To Polished Diamonds
It's a long road from the mines to the finger of a consumer for a rough diamond to go through all the stages to end up set in an engagement ring but I will give you a condensed vision of this road so that you will be able to further appreciate what you are buying.
Diamonds, today are no longer found lying on the ground, left overs from alluvial deposits. They now have to be mined deep down within the earth. The deposits are called kimberlite pipes and for a carat of cut diamonds, many tons of ore must be excavated from the mine.
The ore is then led on a conveyor belt, by vibration separated, sprayed and cleaned then filtered. The rocks are removed from the diamonds by passing the mixture though an oily substance which allows the diamond Crystals to stick in it.
80% of the rough diamonds obtained in this way are not suitable for jewellery purposes and goes to industry.
The remaining diamonds are assorted into sizes, colour, type and clarity and then the rough diamonds, in their great majority, are prepared for sale to the ‘site holder' by DeBeers who will then go about the ‘cutting process' before re-sale on the market.
The rough diamonds are then pen drawn in order to determine what type of cut and clarity they will become. This by the diamond ‘sight holder', a direct customer of DeBeers of which there are but a 150 odd all over the world.
According to what has been decided the rough diamonds are either sawn, cleaved or simply directly girdled before they can go to the following stages, the real cutting process which is the girdling process which gives the diamond its final shape, the polishing process divided into 2 parts, the ‘cutting' or polishing of the main facets and then the ‘brilliandeering' stage which is the cutting and polishing of the ‘end facets', 16 on top and 8 underneath in the Round Brilliant Cut. This differs somewhat with other shaped diamonds so I will not go into it further.
The girdle then may need faceteering, applying facets to the girdle which may enhance the colour somewhat.
The diamonds are then ready to be sold on the international diamond markets where they are bought up by wholesalers, larger manufacturing jewellers and dealers.
The diamonds then find their way to the individual jewellers, online or on the high street, either in loose form or set in an item of jewellery.
Only then will they come into contact with the consumer who would either have seen them in a jeweller's high street window or online at a specialised online diamond jewellery outlet.
