Diamonds have long been symbols of luxury, love, and prestige. However, before these sparkling gemstones find their place in fine jewelry, they embark on an extraordinary transformation. At Eternity Gems, we specialize in manufacturing large rough diamonds, ensuring each stone reaches its highest potential. We also facilitate trades in polished diamonds, bridging the gap between raw beauty and refined elegance.
This blog explores the meticulous journey of a diamond—from its discovery in raw form to its transformation into a brilliant, polished gem.
Step 1: Sourcing Large Rough Diamonds
Every diamond begins its journey deep within the Earth, formed over billions of years under immense heat and pressure. These natural wonders are extracted from mines in various parts of the world, including Africa, Canada, Russia, and Australia.
At Eternity Gems, we procure large rough diamonds from ethical and reputable sources, ensuring compliance with international standards such as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). This guarantees that the diamonds we work with are conflict-free and responsibly sourced.
Key Considerations in Sourcing Rough Diamonds:
✔ Ethical mining practices and sustainability.
✔ Assessing the potential of rough diamonds based on size, shape, and inclusions.
✔ Collaborating with trusted suppliers and mining companies.
Step 2: Analyzing and Planning the Cutting Process
Once the rough diamonds arrive at our manufacturing facility, our expert gemologists analyze each stone to determine the best cutting strategy. Unlike smaller diamonds, large rough diamonds require specialized techniques and advanced technology to maximize their brilliance and value.
Using 3D scanning and laser mapping, we assess:
🔹 The natural shape of the diamond.
🔹 Internal inclusions and flaws that might affect clarity.
🔹 How to optimize weight retention while achieving the perfect cut.
At Eternity Gems, our philosophy is not just about cutting a diamond; it’s about unlocking its full potential while preserving as much of its weight and beauty as possible.
Step 3: Precision Cutting – The Science Behind the Sparkle
Cutting a diamond is a blend of art and science. A single mistake can affect the stone’s brilliance, value, and final shape. To ensure precision, we use state-of-the-art diamond cutting technology, including laser cutting machines and precision saws.
Stages of the Cutting Process:
1️⃣ Cleaving or Sawing – The rough diamond is split into smaller sections if needed, using laser or mechanical saws.
2️⃣ Bruting – The diamond is shaped into a round form or other desired shapes through grinding.
3️⃣ Faceting – This is where the real magic happens! Each diamond receives carefully calculated facets that reflect and refract light to maximize brilliance.
4️⃣ Polishing – Using specialized diamond-polishing wheels, our artisans refine each facet to achieve a mirror-like shine.
Every step is executed with extreme precision to ensure that the final product is nothing short of breathtaking.
Step 4: Grading and Certification
After the diamond is polished, it undergoes a rigorous grading and quality control process. At Eternity Gems, we work with top gemological laboratories like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) to certify our polished diamonds.
Diamonds are graded based on the 4Cs:
💎 Carat Weight – Determines the diamond’s size.
💎 Cut – Evaluates how well the diamond reflects light.
💎 Clarity – Measures the presence of inclusions and blemishes.
💎 Color – Ranges from colorless to yellow or brown hues.
Certification ensures that customers and traders receive authentic and accurately graded diamonds.
Step 5: Trading and Distribution of Polished Diamonds
Once polished and certified, our diamonds are ready for the global market. Eternity Gems facilitates seamless diamond trading, connecting manufacturers, jewelers, and investors worldwide.
