Diamond cutting
Diamond cutting at SMV
The diamond cutting in the jewellery-making process refers to a finishing technique used to create patterns or facets on the surface of metal, usually using a diamond-cutting tool.
This gives the jewellery an extra sparkle by reflecting light more brightly. Diamonds are often used to enhance the appearance of gold or silver pieces, giving them a shiny, textured appearance.
At SMV Thailand, we have mastered this method and can help you make your jewellery stand out.
The different stages of diamond cutting
1. Surface preparation
The surface of the jewel is cleaned and polished to remove any imperfections and provide a smooth base for the engraving.
2. Choice of pattern or effect
The design to be engraved is chosen or created, often using digital tools or manual design. The design can be simple (straight lines, geometric patterns) or more complex.
3. Mounting the diamond tool
A tool fitted with a diamond tip is used to engrave directly onto the metal. The hardness of the diamond enables precise, clean patterns to be cut into the metal surface.
4. Engraving
The jewel is engraved according to the chosen design. The tip of the diamond creates dazzling lines that catch the light, adding sparkle and fine detail to the jewel.
5. Quality control
After engraving, the jewellery is inspected to ensure that the engraving is uniform and meets the required quality standards.
6. Finishing and polishing
Once the engraving is complete, the jewel can be polished to remove any residual traces and enhance the overall shine.
