Each individual diamond is carefully reviewed and sorted according to its shape, size, colour and clarity before it goes on to the planning department. After assortment, every single diamond is placed in an individual packet with a unique barcode which is scanned along every single process from rough to polish to keep track of the progress.<\/p>\n<p><u><\/u><strong><u>Step 2: Planning\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-594 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454-300x133.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454-300x133.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454-768x341.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454-480x213.jpg 480w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454-160x71.jpg 160w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/planing-1024x454-245x109.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each diamond is then analysed using the state of the art technology that maps all the inclusion inside as well as on the surface of the diamond. The goal here is to choose one or more highest valued polished diamonds by keeping in mind the 4Cs of diamonds: Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat Weight. During this stage, the cutting planes, angles, heights, width and angles of every single facets are decided which would decide how the light will perform inside a diamond.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Step 3: Blocking and Bruting\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-595 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323-300x95.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"815\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323-300x95.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323-768x242.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323-480x151.jpg 480w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323-160x50.jpg 160w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Blocking-and-Bruting-1024x323-245x77.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a rough diamond is carefully planned, it is marked using an automated laser beam. The marked stones move on to the laser sawing department where a high powered laser beam cuts a big rough diamond into desired smaller pieces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From there the diamond is sent to a blocker where the diamond gets is basic outer shape. Blocking is done using either a laser bruiting marine or mechanical auto blocking arms.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Step 4: Brillianteering<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-596 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589-300x173.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589-768x442.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589-480x276.jpg 480w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589-160x92.jpg 160w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Brillianteering-1024x589-245x141.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the stone is blocked and gets its outer shape, it then goes to a brillianteer for final faceting. The cutter sets in a dop and gently paces it on a rotating wheel made of diamond power since only a diamond can cut and polish another diamond.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Facet after facet, the skilled polisher, brings the rough diamond to life. Since the diamond crystal heats up quickly due to friction, it can only stay on the wheel for so long<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Step 5: Certification<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-597 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619-300x181.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619-768x464.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619-480x290.jpg 480w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619-160x97.jpg 160w, http:\/\/blog.viranigems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Certification-min-1024x619-245x148.jpg 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once polished, every single facet of each individual diamond is carefully revived by both a highly accurate laser scanner as well as by a trained gemmologist. Any diamond that doesn\u2019t meet our strict quality control standards is sent back for re-polishing.
