Diamond sorter. When faced with a pile of rough diamonds, you would have to sort them out into specific groups: - The first step is to sort the shapes, sizes, colours and quality. - Next, sort the diamonds into groups that need to be sawn, cleaved or divided by laser. - Label each pile of stones. - Prepare them for marketing.

DEF

Personne qui trie les diamants bruts d'après les critères de poids, de forme, de pureté et de couleur, en tenant compte aussi de considérations économiques.

OBS

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.
