Diamond King Of Gems [RARE BOOKS]

These days sorting methods are rather more exacting.

In this day and age, however, sorting methods tend to be a little more cut and dried. Which is why our sorters must make the grade themselves before they can become experts.

Yet, together with the invaluable assistance of a magnifying "loupe", human skill is still the most important quality.

Indeed, to ensure their classifications hold water, our highly trained men and women rely on sharp eyesight, together with the necessary judgement required to sort the rough diamonds into over 5,000 separate categories of shape, quality, colour and size.

Of course, we also play an important part in guaranteeing producers a regular outlet. Simply because our constant aim is to adapt the flow of diamonds to suit both the ripples and waves of global demand.

As you can imagine, these unique complexities require a steady stream of new solutions.

Which is why, unlike in the picture above, we are constantly striving to make sure our methods are water-tight.
