Before answering this question, let\u2019s have a closer look at the diamond manufacturing process and the role of man and machine in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>Diamond Manufacturing: More Science than Art<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">We all know that diamond cutting and polishing is an art, but very few people know that it is a science. Yes, it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diamond manufacturing includes various <\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><a style=\"color: #333399;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/journey-of-diamonds-from-mine-to-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>scientific processes<\/b><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including the study of the origin, nature, and characteristics of the stone. It plays a crucial part in deciding the type and way of cutting and polishing of the stone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Although polished diamonds are highly used in the world of jewellery and aesthetics, they have the inherent sphere of art, mythology, and human behavior. That makes the whole process more than just a scientific pursuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If we trace diamond manufacturing throughout history, it\u2019s been a man-driven profession. However, in the last few decades, the industry has seen a large involvement of technology and machinery in the process of diamond cutting and polishing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Want to know more about how the diamonds get cut and polished? &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><a style=\"color: #333399;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/how-are-diamonds-cut-to-shape\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b><i>Click Here<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The development of advanced rough planning, cutting, and polishing technology has driven the diamond manufacturing industry to incredible heights of efficiency and precision. Let\u2019s see how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>The scenario of \u2018Man v\/s Machine\u2019 in the diamond manufacturing process<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s have a look at the role of Man and Machines in the whole process of diamond manufacturing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>\u2022 Planning<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Diamond planning is a critical process, as the price of your polished diamond is highly dependent on the planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The diamond planners plan a rough diamond in such a way that maximum carat weight is retained in the polished stone and yields high profit, purely based on their knowledge, experience, and skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Today, various planning machines are available in the market including Galaxy, Sarine, Helium planning, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">They automatically give a 360-degree scanned image and video of the rough diamond with optimal yield from it and also give the option to do manual plotting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">However, these machines have their limitations, such as they are unable to plot on diamonds beyond the clarity grade VVS, i.e. FL and IF. For higher clarity grade rough, a skilled planner is required to plan it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Another disadvantage of using a diamond planning machine is that it often fails to give optimum plans according to the type, size, and place of inclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">On the other hand, a skilled planner can efficiently plan any clarity grade diamonds based on the inclusions and their type to create maximum value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Sawing<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Sawing is the first step of rough diamond cutting, hence very critical. It is done by Laser machines, Waterjet cutting machines, etc., other than humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Beyond the accurate cutting, sawing demands human intervention to judge the post-sawing condition of rough diamonds before actually starting the process. As human intellect can prevent any possibility of breakage or weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Nevertheless, sawing machines are fully automated, once the process starts. So, you can\u2019t see\/avoid any breakage or weight loss of rough diamond beyond estimated before the diamond comes out. That is the riskier part of using a machine for sawing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Blocking<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The blocking process is removing the unwanted part from the rough stone after sawing and shaping it near to the final shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">To some extent, it is the manual job of giving nearby shape with maximum weight gain and avoiding any possible chances of breakage to the rough stone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">However, nowadays, bruting machines are used for blocking, but they are riskier as the chances of cracking\/breakage in rough diamonds are higher than usual in these auto machines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Polishing<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In polishing, the diamond gets its final shape and faceting. Polishing can increase or decrease the value of your diamond, which is why it is a very crucial and much-focused job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Even today, the polishing of diamonds is primarily a man-driven job. Though there is a simple polishing mill available in the market, it just gives the mechanical support to polish the diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">To manufacture an excellent diamond in terms of symmetry, polish, and cut, requires a highly skilled person with much patience and accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">However, in the past few years, several institutions in the industry, after years of research, have successfully innovated a revolutionary technology that fully automates the diamond polishing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Thus, we can expect the fully automated diamond cutting and polishing procedure in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for such sparkling diamonds to buy? &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><a style=\"color: #333399;\" href=\"https:\/\/my.hk.co\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b><i>Click Here<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><b> to register for the hk.co online store and buy perfect simmering diamonds!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Grading<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Diamond grading involves judging and rating all the specifications of the diamond, including 4Cs, fluorescence, luster, fire, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Again, Diamond grading is primarily a man-driven process. There are not any standard machines to grade the diamond, but just like the diamond polishing process, we can soon expect the automated diamond grading system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Diamond graders are the highly-skilled people who can easily grade diamond color, clarity, and cut, polish, symmetry just with the help of a microscope to magnify its size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Looking at the current scenario of the role of man and machine in the diamond manufacturing process, some may argue that the current scenario is best represented as \u2018Man and a machine\u2019 rather than \u2018Man v\/s machine\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Well, we believe it\u2019s a \u2018Man with a Machine.\u2019 Let\u2019s see how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><b>HK believes in \u2018Man with a Machine\u2019&#8230;<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">We don\u2019t deny the fact that technology has driven huge strides in the advancement of the diamond manufacturing industry in terms of perfection of cut measurements and standardization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">However, machines function on the concept of repeatability &amp; accuracy from analyzing tons of stones and automatically detect the color, clarity, and carat of the diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Well, we should not forget that every natural diamond is unique and so does its cutting method. Here, these automated machines might fail or need a human expert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As the automated control systems are simply too complex to take into account every possible scenario that might be encountered in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from all this, Diamonds are not just precious gemstones, they are deeply connected to expressing human emotions of love, commitment, social status, and so on.
