The culmination of the diamond’s transformation is the polishing stage, where each facet is carefully polished to achieve a mirror-like finish. Adhering to standards set by gemological institutes like the GIA or IGI, this step ensures that the diamond’s facets are cut and polished to exacting specifications, optimizing its light reflection and refraction. The goal is to enhance the diamond’s brilliance, fire, and scintillation, making it sparkle with maximum intensity. Polishing is both an art and a science, requiring skilled artisans who can bring out the innate beauty of the diamond, ensuring it dazzles with every movement.
