The process of cutting a diamond includes a plan, then the cutting, polishing and finishing steps.
Theoretically, the plan maximizes the raw stone's clarity and carat weight -- about 60% of the stone's weight is lost in cutting a diamond. Knowledge and experience are key in this step.
The cutting process simply executes the plan, using diamond cutting tools. This step produces the facets. Technique and expertise with tools are key here.
Polishing and finishing adheres to the plan, and results in a finished, cut diamond envisioned in the plan -- if nothing 'goes wrong' in any of the processes described.
