How a diamond is cut: A look at the process of creating the most precious jewels

In the world of jewellery, the diamond is undoubtedly the most coveted and admired gemstone. Its dazzling brilliance, exceptional hardness and timeless beauty have made it the quintessential symbol of luxury and elegance. But have you ever wondered how this precious mineral is cut to make it look so stunning?

At Neogold, our Colombian jewelry store specializing in exclusive pieces for men and women, we pride ourselves on using the most advanced techniques in diamond cutting. From using 3D technology to create unique custom designs, to carefully selecting the finest stones, each of our processes is designed to ensure the highest quality and beauty in our creations.

The art of diamond cutting

The process of cutting a diamond is a true work of art that requires great skill and precision. It begins with the selection of the raw stone, which then goes through a series of meticulous steps to reveal its full splendor.

Selection of raw stone

The first stage is the selection of the rough stone. Neogold experts carefully analyse each rough diamond, assessing its purity, colour, size and shape. Only stones that meet the highest quality standards are selected for the cutting process.

Cutting and polishing

Once the stone has been selected, it is then cut and polished. This step is crucial as it determines the final shape and brilliance of the diamond. Cutters use specialized tools, such as saws and polishing wheels, to shape the stone and maximize its light reflection.

During cutting, the aim is to achieve perfect proportion and symmetry, allowing the diamond to capture and reflect light optimally. Each facet must be cut with millimetric precision to achieve the desired effect.

Polishing and finishing

After cutting, the diamond goes through a polishing process that gives it its final shine and finish. Experts use specialized tools and polishing techniques to remove any imperfections and achieve a perfectly smooth and shiny surface.

At this stage, special treatments such as facet polishing or brightening may also be applied to further enhance the beauty of the diamond.

3D technology at the service of jewelry

At Neogold, we have taken the diamond cutting process a step further by incorporating 3D technology into our designs. This allows us to create truly unique and bespoke pieces, adapted to the tastes and needs of each client.

By using 3D design software, our experts are able to model and visualize the jewelry prior to manufacturing. This allows us to experiment with different shapes, sizes, and gemstone combinations, ensuring that each piece is a custom work of art.

In addition, 3D technology allows us to produce pieces with impeccable precision and finish, ensuring that each diamond shines in all its splendor.

Emeralds and diamonds: The perfect combination

At Neogold, we not only specialize in diamond cutting, but we also work with another precious gemstone of great value: the emerald. These gems, originally from Colombia, are known for their beauty and intense green color.

By combining diamonds and emeralds in our creations, we achieve pieces of unparalleled elegance and sophistication. The purity and brilliance of diamonds perfectly complement the vibrant and captivating beauty of emeralds, giving rise to truly exceptional jewels.

Our expert designers and cutters work closely together to create designs that enhance the beauty of both gemstones, achieving a perfect balance between shapes, colors and textures.
