The diamond industry is a fascinating world where precision, trust, and market expertise come together to create a seamless trading ecosystem. At Eternity Gems, we are not only manufacturers of large rough diamonds but also facilitators of polished diamond trade, connecting high-quality gems with buyers worldwide.
Whether it’s luxury jewelry brands, investors, or independent retailers, the demand for premium polished diamonds remains strong. However, the process of matching the right gem with the right buyer requires deep market knowledge, a strong global network, and a commitment to transparency.
In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of the diamond trade and explore how Eternity Gems ensures that our polished diamonds reach the right buyers efficiently and securely.
The Diamond Trade: A Complex but Rewarding Market
The global diamond trade operates through a well-structured supply chain that begins with rough diamonds sourced from mines and ends with exquisite polished gems adorning jewelry collections and investment portfolios.
1. The Role of Rough Diamond Manufacturing
Before polished diamonds enter the market, they undergo a meticulous transformation process. At Eternity Gems, we specialize in manufacturing larger rough diamonds, ensuring that each stone is cut and polished to perfection.
Our expertise in handling large rough diamonds allows us to:
- Maximize yield and value: Advanced cutting techniques ensure minimal wastage and optimal carat weight retention.
- Enhance clarity and brilliance: Skilled craftsmanship ensures that diamonds reflect the highest possible light performance.
- Customize cuts based on demand: Whether it’s round brilliant, princess, or fancy shapes, we cater to market preferences.
Once diamonds are polished, they are graded based on the 4Cs—Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color—making them ready for trade.
