Le positionnement des facettes et leur inclinaison mutuelle sont effectués uniquement à l'œil nu et à la loupe, sans autre instrument, par un diamantaire expérimenté (il contrôle néanmoins certains angles, comme entre bezel et pavillon, avec un goniomètre à main). Il existe, en particulier pour les petites pierres, des aides mécaniques pour le placement des facettes; il ne faut pas s'attendre à voir réaliser une taille brillant par une machine totalement automatique. 3, record 1, French, - positionnement%20de%20facettes
