Canamark diamonds follow a strict cutting and polishing process. After the diamonds are mined, the rough is planned to figure out what size and shape diamond it will yield. After the rough diamond is planned, it is sawn into pieces, usually with lasers.
After the rough diamond has been planned and sawn, it begins the cutting process with bruting, or shaping. The outline of the Canadamark diamond begins to take shape. One the shape has been worked out, the diamond is blocked. This is when the diamond get it’s first 16 facets; eight on the pavilion and the eight top facets.
Once the diamond has been blocked, the final 40 facets are polished and what remains from the original rough diamond is a stunning Canadamark diamond with around 58 facets. The diamond is then sent for an independent grading report from a gemological laboratory.
