Les diamants sont mélangés pour des raisons économiques. À Londres, la De Beers compte 1,500 trieurs de diamants. À Anvers, on en dénombre 1,200. Les trieurs mélangent les diamants parce que les lots ont davantage de valeur lorsqu'ils sont composés de pierres ayant la même taille, la même couleur et la même pureté. Le tri des diamants fait intégralement partie de notre activité, tant en ce qui concerne le diamant brut que le diamant taillé. 5, record 1, French, - trieur%20de%20diamants%20taill%C3%A9s
