In contrast to the old image of a cutter with a hammer and cleaving chisel, these lasers operate noiselessly and precisely, painstakingly flashing atom after atom from the stone. Far from removing the artist from the equation, though, our diamond sawing operation requires careful work to set the stone perfectly in the machine and program the necessary cuts. Our cutters are also looking to the future, continually experimenting with new methods and tools to make the process more precise and efficient.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2114\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Shaping<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2114\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2114\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tab-four-image aligncenter\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shaping-e1664276331628.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"571\" height=\"365\" \/><br> In the shaping process, also known as bruting or girdling, we uses the natural hardness of diamonds as the ideal tool for smoothing a rough stone. To create the girdle, the narrow band that encompasses the edge and separates the crown from the pavilion, we use a ceramic wheel, coated in industrial diamond grit, and an electronic lathe that is monitored by our hawk-eyed artisans. The diamond is set in a dop, or holder, which is in turn fixed on an arm that is precisely adjusted to the lathe. The ceramic wheel, spinning at thousands of rpm, is gradually brought into contact with the diamond to delicately smooth the edges to the desired shape. While the name bruting suggests a blunt process, shaping requires the utmost care to ensure the proper amount of contact between the diamond and the wheel. A coolant solution, poured continually over the diamond during this process, keeps the diamond from developing burn marks or even miniscule fractures that could adversely affect its resulting size or clarity.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2115\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Polishing<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2115\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2115\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tab-five-image aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/polishig_1-scaled-e1664276348499.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"571\" height=\"381\" \/><br>\nThe final stage of a diamond&#8217;s journey from the rough encompasses many steps, including blocking the pavilion and the crown into their basic shapes, and polishing the individual facets to the precise angles that will reflect cascades of light from deep inside. While this process is well known, what makes i mogal diamond unique is that we entrust every aspect of an individual diamond&#8217;s polishing to one craftsman. Instead of the output of an assembly line process, each of our gems is guided to its final form through the genius of a single artisan carefully working a diamond against a finely balanced polishing wheel or, to cut the notch of a heart-shaped diamond, an old-fashioned electro-mechanical sawing wheel.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2116\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Quality Control<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2116\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2116\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tab-six-image aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/qality_control.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"571\" height=\"381\" \/><br \/>Inspection process is our final stage for maintaining quality standards set by our company.

Within the planning department, our staff is encouraged to offer competing analysis of the same with the most valuable plan resulting in higher value and optimum utilisation of the rough diamond\n<div id=\"urban-overlay\" style=\"left: -10px; top: -10px; width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"urban-overlay\" style=\"left: -10px; top: -10px; width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8565fde\" data-id=\"8565fde\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ff2df0 craftmanship-image elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0ff2df0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/planning-rpjgrwkdbbbqkyf2udi23ebmzsjjumwhvwd045x6e8.png\" title=\"planning\" alt=\"planning\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ca4c42b elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ca4c42b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-986cb34\" data-id=\"986cb34\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4834e1d craftmanship-image elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4834e1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/sawing-e1664276309721-rpjgrvmj4hag9cgfzv3fiwk6eeo6mxsrjrpimvykkg.jpg\" title=\"sawing\" alt=\"sawing\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c87b99a\" data-id=\"c87b99a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36f2da6 section-headding elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"36f2da6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SAWING<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01183df headding-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01183df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"276\" height=\"41\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/title-img.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-208\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%;height:14.86%;max-width:276px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a5fe21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a5fe21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter planning, almost all of c6\u2019s rough is sawn into one or more diamonds, in accordance with the planner&#8217;s vision, by computer-aided machines in our manufacturing facility. In contrast to the old image of a cutter with a hammer and cleaving chisel, these lasers operate noiselessly and precisely, painstakingly flashing atom after atom from the stone. Far from removing the artist from the equation, though, our diamond sawing operation requires careful work to set the stone perfectly in the machine and program the necessary cuts.

To create the girdle, the narrow band that encompasses the edge and separates the crown from the pavilion, we use a ceramic wheel, coated in industrial diamond grit, and an electronic lathe that is monitored by our hawk-eyed artisans. The diamond is set in a dop, or holder, which is in turn fixed on an arm that is precisely adjusted to the lathe. The ceramic wheel, spinning at thousands of rpm, is gradually brought into contact with the diamond to delicately smooth the edges to the desired shape. While the name bruting suggests a blunt process, shaping requires the utmost care to ensure the proper amount of contact between the diamond and the wheel. A coolant solution, poured continually over the diamond during this process, keeps the diamond from developing burn marks or even miniscule fractures that could adversely affect its resulting size or clarity.\n<div id=\"urban-overlay\" style=\"left: -10px; top: -10px; width: 0px; height: 0px;\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a6f4a70\" data-id=\"a6f4a70\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a39584b craftmanship-image elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a39584b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/shaping-e1664276331628-rpjgrvmj4hag9cgfzv3fiwk6eeo6mxsrjrpimvykkg.png\" title=\"shaping\" alt=\"shaping\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-01af4d8 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"01af4d8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-63e9b8d\" data-id=\"63e9b8d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13dfed0 craftmanship-image elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"13dfed0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/polishig_1-scaled-e1664276348499-rpjgrvmj4hag9cgfzv3fiwk6eeo6mxsrjrpimvykkg.jpg\" title=\"Closeup,Image,Of,Hands,Of,A,Person,Cutting,A,Diamond\" alt=\"Closeup,Image,Of,Hands,Of,A,Person,Cutting,A,Diamond\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f99e938\" data-id=\"f99e938\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc5394 section-headding elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bc5394\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">POLISHING<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8261cb headding-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f8261cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"276\" height=\"41\" src=\"https:\/\/carbonstoneuk.co.uk\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/title-img.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-208\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%;height:14.86%;max-width:276px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4e704a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f4e704a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe final stage of a diamond&#8217;s journey from the rough encompasses many steps, including blocking the pavilion and the crown into their basic shapes, and polishing the individual facets to the precise angles that will reflect cascades of light from deep inside.
