What does a diamond look like before it is polished.

Out of these rough stones that are traded 92 of them will end up in india and are actually cut in the city of surat. Did you know that almost 80 of all rough diamonds pass through different hands in the city of antwerp belgium. In this video you see how diamonds look like right after they have been mined. This means whatever diamond you are buying in the market today has more than likely traveled around the entire globe before it reaches your hands.

It had nicks scratches and a chip but also a nice color. How diamonds are polished. I bought this 4 24 ct purple spinel from a dealer for about 20 ct. Leave a comment click here to cancel reply.

It sure looks like you are going to get ripped off by whichever scumbag jeweler you are dealing with who is selling this diamond. They look just like diamonds apart from not nearly as pretty or shiny because there is a lot of hard work involved to make it so i should know we are considering going into the business ourselves. Cleaving is always done parallel with the grain of the diamond. The first step in diamond cutting is the examination of the stone in the rough form.

This is because the natural geological structure of a diamond is not optimized for the beauty that we appreciate and is in actuality a man made art. The recut to 2 85 cts really improved its optical performance.
