Le diamant retourne ensuite entre les mains du facetteur, qui procède au polissage des facettes déja posées afin de leur donner leur aspect définitif. 5, record 2, French, - facetteur
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Il serait préférable d'employer le terme «facetteur» plutôt que «polisseur». En effet, la définition du premier terme indique qu'il y a deux étapes au facettage, la pose et le polissage, alors que «polisseur» pourrait laisser supposer qu'il n'est question de la dernière étape, soit le polissage. 6, record 2, French, - facetteur
