The Art of Diamond Cutting

[@kenmore01]

Great episode! I kept imagining the pink panther sneaking in and taking some of them. 😂

Diamonds are forever as i am.

[@jadenephrite]

There are famous songs about diamonds. "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" is a song sung by Marilyn Monroe. "Diamonds Are Forever" is a song sung by Shirley Bassey.

I'd Neal for a Diamond, "I Would, I Said, To No One There...".

Is there any difference in cutting, polishing, etc, between natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds?

[@davesmith5656]

Amazing how the various cuts are laid out, then the diamond sculpted. I would guess it takes years of study and practice to get it right. All those fractions of carats cut and ground away.

How are they cut ??? ... Very carefully

[@pierremarcoux9465]

Do you know if lab diamonds can be "grown" so there is less cutting?

We have a video about this :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6HZaGWnmL1lh7ssi=A5YGXmZMTL5APWax

Informative. I'd like to know how it was done without the use of modern technology.

[@BeeFunKnee]

The answer is giants. Giants. GIANTS! Back then, they had giants who just pinched the diamonds into shape with their giant long, hard fingernails. Well, been awhile, but that's how I remember it all happening. Then maybe I'm just trying to bee fun knee and can't even recall last week even! At least I tried to come up with some old diamond cutting 'answer' thing anyways.

Diamond are overpriced. Diamonds are not as rare as jewelers say they are. Buy manufactured diamonds instead. Less costly and they will last longer.
