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.

How can improve a rough diamond?
You can cut the diamond. Cutting it uses a tool sort of like a chisel, that actually breaks the diamond. When you cut a diamond, (if you do it right) it exposes a flat face, or facet as they are called when it's a gem. By cutting it several times, you can make it so that all you can see are the facets you created by cutting it, and it becomes the gem we are all familiar with from jewelry.Note that this work is only done by professionals using professional, diamond-tipped tools.
