1. The Journey Begins
While you may think the journey of a diamond bracelet starts with the purchase, it actually begins far away from the jewelry store. The story of how a diamond bracelet comes to be starts in Africa, where miners sift through thousands of pounds of earth in search for diamonds.
When choosing which mines to invest in, miners take careful consideration into what kind of rock they’re going to mine for diamonds and how much money can be made from those rocks. They look at the quality and type of stone that’s beneath the surface and determine which parts should be extracted first so as not to waste any time or resources searching for something worth less than what’s already been uncovered.
2. Procurement
Procurement is the process of finding and acquiring the raw materials to create a diamond bracelet. In this case, it will be 18K white gold and diamonds. The gold will be purchased from a wholesaler and the diamonds sourced from an independent diamond cutter.
3. Sorting
Sorting of diamonds is done by color, clarity and carat weight.
Colorless diamonds are the best quality and rarest type of diamond. They’re also more valuable than other colors.
Clarity refers to how clear the diamond is. The best clarity types are completely transparent with no flaws or blemishes at all.
Carat weight is measured in metric units (1 carat = 200 milligrams). A 1 carat diamond weighs about 5 grams or .2 ounces!
4. Cutting and Polishing
Cutting and polishing a diamond is a very precise process. The diamond cutter has to know exactly what shape he wants the stone to be and make sure that it is cut precisely into that shape.
How do they get the size and shape they want?
The first step is cutting, which is done using a machine called a saw. The cutter uses this tool to slice off large chunks of rock so that only one piece remains with all of the rough edges taken off. This piece will then be shaped by hand until its final form has been achieved. In order for this process to work well, it’s important that no mistakes are made during any stage because otherwise your finished product might not turn out as expected (or you could end up wasting valuable diamonds).
5. Fitting
The last step in creating a diamond bracelet is to fit the diamonds into the settings. This process can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks, depending on how many adjustments have to be made and whether or not there are any customizations that need to be made. The first thing that happens when fitting begins is that all the loose diamonds are placed onto a table or bench in order for them to be inspected and cleaned. Once they’re clean, technicians will begin narrowing down which ones will fit together best based on their shape, color and clarity as well as other factors such as carat weight.
Next comes measuring each stone with calipers in order to determine size specifications such as depth (measured through internal measurement) or width (measured externally). The technician will then mark these measurements on the stone before putting it back into its setting so that they know where each one needs to go during assembly later on down at this stage of production. Once this step is complete all loose stones must undergo another inspection process where they check if any of them were damaged during shipping or handling by checking for cracks/chips in their structure which could compromise structural integrity over time if left unchecked.”
6. Setting
Then, the diamond is set. A jeweler uses a special tool to hold the diamond in place. Depending on how the stone is to be used, it may be held with prongs or a setting (for example, a ring). The jeweler may use a microscope for this task as well as for inspecting finished stones before they go out into the world.
In addition to nitpicking every detail of each stone’s cut and color, jewelers must also consider how diamonds are set. While there are many ways that diamonds can be secured within jewelry pieces such as rings and earrings, one common method involves prongs holding them in place at each end of their girdle plane—the widest part of their surface area—and then carefully tied together by tiny wires called head pins which secure them tightly yet inconspicuously enough that no one notices how much effort went into making sure they stay put without falling out when worn everyday!
7. Final Inspection
The final step in the diamond bracelet process is inspection. Before a piece can be sold, it must pass through a rigorous quality control process so that every diamond bracelet is exactly as it should be. The following are some of the things that are checked:
- Visible defects (such as cracks or flaws)
- Clasp function and strength
- Fit on customer’s wrist
Diamond bracelets are not simply born, they are crafted by skilled artisans who work to create a product that will be treasured for a lifetime
A diamond bracelet is not simply born, it is crafted by skilled artisans who work to create a product that will be treasured for a lifetime.
The process of creating a diamond bracelet may seem simple—the diamonds are set into the metal with little more than a hammer and chisel—but there are many steps involved in transforming rough gemstones into something beautiful.
Diamonds undergo intense pressure during the cutting process, which can cause them to crack or shatter if not handled properly. The people tasked with making your bracelet are experts in their field and have years of experience handling these precious stones and working with tools that can compromise their integrity even further (for example: using the wrong type of polishing cloth). To ensure that each stone stays intact, every step must be carefully monitored and inspected at each stage in order for them all to meet your high standards and expectations.
