    All though I did not purchase my diamond from brilliantly engaged they did mount my stone in a gorgeous setting that has people asking me where I got it almost on a daily basis. The quality and look is exactly what Ive always dreamed to own. Thanks again to the B.E team and mark for all his help in emails. This video is so neat! Thanks for sharing.

    • @beerus101
      @beerus101 10 років тому +8

      When they grind it on a wheel, or 'polish' it, that's when they are adding the facets. If I'm not mistaken, the only time they will really 'cut' the diamond is when it is still in its very rough shape. Although it seems pretty unremarkable, you did see the diamond take shape (through 'polishing' it on the wheel').

      Corey Williams I'm right there with PlanetRockJesus - I have never found a video or even a description of how a diamond is cut into two pieces. They mention it in the video, but do not demonstrate how it is done. I have always wondered what is used to split a diamond into halves! If anyone can elaborate, I'd be very grateful.

    This was my dream ring 28 yrs ago when my hubby and I got married but yellow diamonds were not a thing like they are today. They were sold as lesser diamonds because of their color and what WERE available were so heavily included they weren't worth buying. Most places just did NOT have what I was looking for.
    This ring is STUNNING all the way around.

    • @jeremysuchowolski4572
      @jeremysuchowolski4572 10 років тому +52

      The residue of the diamond that are cut off, will be collected and used for industrial purposes, not for jewellery. for example this will be used to create diamond creme/paste which you smear over the disks needed to polish the diamond. this because diamond can only be polished with diamonds.
      Those parts are so small they have absolutely no use for use in jewelry.
      Hope this answered your question

    Can somebody tell me what happens to all the falloff diamond dust? Waste? What if the worker grinds a diamond way to far and screws it up? That is a thousands dollar mistake, I've only made maybe a couple of those in my career, and it's a big deal, but a $5,000 mistake on a $100k job is still 'only' 5%, if you screw up a diamond its at least a 50% loss to recut, I would be nervous, the machines now days must have fail-safes to prevent this?

      +Hay_ImKeyser_Söze The diamond has its price because of it's sophisticated cutting! before that it's just a hard rock. so before the cutting a diamond is not worth that much! so the loss is not so huge.

      Depending on the size. Diamonds above like 50k uncut, pristine, I'm ignorant in the topic but have a second aunt who is in the business and talks occasionally, there are like thousands of ways and types of grades. an uncut 100k diamond pristine pink might be worth more uncut or cut into one or 2 massive rocks.

      Also now that I read my OP I think the dust must be sold to grinders and diamond cutters for machinery. Heck I've used diamond cutter blades and stones, and they are expensive!

    It’s sometimes said diamond is the hardest material but obviously it is not because it is possible to cut it.

      They use diamond tipped tools to cut diamonds. So they're very much the hardest substance.
