It might come as a surprise to many but for a really long time, diamond was not used for intricate jewellery designs, because cutting a diamond to the perfect size was next to impossible. However, people from the jewellery industry required tools that would allow them to cut these solid stones into smaller pieces and even carve designs from them. So, when such tools were created things became easier for jewellery designers too. So now, a multi point diamond dresser could cut a diamond as well as sharpen other tools with ease.
In the past few years, the diamond has become an immensely popular stone – whether you are proposing to the girl of your dreams or want to surprise your wife on your 25th wedding anniversary. Now, because cutting these stones has become a lot easier, designers too have a lot more freedom in terms of what they can design. And then there is the residual diamond powder, which is a by-product of diamonds when they are cut, which finds innumerable uses of its own!
