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?

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.

Yeah but, how are 2mm diamonds shaped? I'd believe using your fingers would be impossible at that size....
i did not know that! very interesting! but there is always lab made diamonds for a fraction of the price and as good or even beather qualety, but they are not "real" diamonds ;)
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.
Ok so they use dimonds to make dimond round. So what do they use to cut it? What material?

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..

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.

I don't care how many diamonds are mined or jewelers to sell them, without the highly specialized cutter, nobody would have a job. I don't think you're allowed to touch their bodies or something. The Point.
