Seeing how advanced the process is, imagine how expensive a similarly cut diamond would've been in a time when we didn't have the same technological advancement?

[@Ninja_Bryden]

They would be unbelievably expensive compared to even today

So precise

[@johnyacks7690]

I'm surprised there is this much information available. I heard this industry is very hard to get into and it takes a long time to learn how to do this type of work. I was a bit disappointed to not see how the stone is actually cut. And the one stone had a number etched into it and it was not discussed.

[@SamaraJamesJewellers]

Thanks for the comment John. We have another video showing a stone being graded - this is the inscription etched on the girdle of the diamond.

[@bonita2311]

Nope it's not hard to get into this field. The inscription on the Diamond is from the Lab, and it matches the certificate number.

Wow... I can't believe I've been doing it so wrong for years.

I have a unique facet design for a diamond(other stones). something never seen. How would I go about copy writing and developing the design? I believe it would revolutionize the gemstone world and make use of what may have to be cut into smaller pieces/ used as a single gem with more color..

[@olegoleg29]

People still working like that

[@bonita2311]

New machines have entered the market to make certain things easier but ppl still finish the diamond like this. Will be very difficult for AI to overtake this delicate work. A human has to make very complex decisions while working.

[@screaminglightproductions]

Hi, good time to you. I’m Raj currently staying at Malaysia. I’m have found diamonds and I would like to sell it. I saw your website. Wish to hear from you. Thank you.

[@newjsintown2028]

[@judithsmith8014]

Thanks for this. It's a pity some comments reveal a recent propaganda inspired hate for diamonds, they have little respect for mankind's achievements. Look it up - cutting and polishing stones is an ancient art and what you have just seen, and some have just ridiculed, is a truly beautiful end result since mankind first flaked off flint to use for cutting meat. There seems to be no respect for the achievements of mankind because people are so ignorant of history and the effort that has gone before over millennia. The diamond memorializes that to me because I understand historically what has gone before. Learning to cut stone, and polish stone allowed such wonders as the pyramids to be built and the amazing results at Machu Picchu. Those wonders, along with polished stone artifacts, and now these beautifully cut diamonds, are the result of strenuous work over millennia by previous craftsmen . Look up quarrying stone, cutting stone, polishing stone, how the pyramids were built, and your little diamond will become another wonder of the world thanks to all the craftsmen who have gone before. I respect them. Regards.

I think that spinning wheel they said had a 'diamond paste' so I'd imagine stuff like that.

[@kawaiigacha2088]

@@greggilks825 but when they were rubbing the two diamond against each other the diamond became matte... So I think, since car paste its made up of cars, diamond paste isnt made up of diamonds. Instead it is a paste created for diamonds. (This is all theory. I will go do more research now) (Edit) I did my research, you were right 😅 the excess diamond is used to make the diamond grit grinding wheels.

This comment section seems to be giving out too much praise for diamonds in general. I know some people really do appreciate diamonds, but there there isn't even one single comment pointing out that diamonds are ridiculously overpriced or anything critical of the diamond industry in general. Are you removing all comments who criticise diamonds in any way? (I guess I will know if this is taken down)

[@DOYLECLEVERLOBE1]

There are really only a few diamonds of specific colors that are actually rare. Most of it is just artificial scarcity by the industry not to mention man made are identical to natural ones even professionals can't tell the difference.

[@JanVanHunks]

You have got to admit the genius of the marketing scheme by de Beers though (even if I don't agree with their fraudulent "scarcity" advertising)

[@bomenorange.]

It’s worthless, it’s a nice rock, but it’s not rare at all and the big companies just overprice it

[@judithsmith8014]

@@bomenorange. You have no grasp or understanding of any history. You seem to also have no idea of the centuries of work mankind has put into rock cutting and the wonders that came from cutting rock and flint. You resent people making money but you have no idea of the work that goes into doing that. Appreciate your history man.

[@gmatali11]

It’s Not the quantity that makes diamonds rare it’s the quality. Until you understand that important distinction you will never understand why they cost as much as they do.
