What are rough diamonds?

Rough diamonds, also known as uncut or unprocessed diamonds, are diamonds in their natural state, formed over millions of years under high pressure and temperature deep within the earth. They possess a raw beauty and a unique structure that set them apart from the classic, cut diamonds. Many jewelry designers choose rough diamonds to preserve the stone’s original character and to add a natural, organic look to their pieces.

The difference between rough and polished diamonds

The difference between rough and polished diamonds is clearly visible in both their appearance and processing. Rough diamonds retain their natural shape and have a rough, unpolished surface, as they haven’t been cut. This means they don’t reflect light in the same way polished diamonds do and therefore appear more subdued. Polished diamonds, on the other hand, are carefully cut and faceted to bring out their inner brilliance and light reflections.

Why choose rough diamonds for your jewelry?

There are several reasons why rough diamonds are a popular choice among jewelry artists:

• Unique expression – Each rough diamond has its own shape, texture, and color tone, making every piece of jewelry one of a kind.
• Natural beauty – Without cutting and polishing, the diamond’s authentic and natural character is preserved.
• Versatile use – They can be used in everything from rustic engagement rings to modern and minimalist designs.

The colors and shapes of rough diamonds

Rough diamonds come in a wide range of colors and shapes. The colors vary from classic white and gray to golden, brown, and even greenish hues. The shape of a rough diamond depends on its natural formation and can be anything from angular and asymmetrical to softly rounded. This variety makes it possible to create jewelry that stands out and carries a personal touch.
