Edelsteinschleifer/Edelsteinschleiferin Fachrichtung Schmuckdiamantschleifen

Professionals working as diamond grinders in Germany are experts who process gemstones, especially diamonds, according to customer requests, given instructions, or their own creative ideas. Individuals in this profession select raw diamonds based on the intended cut and purpose, divide them if necessary, reduce their size with diamond saws, and give them their rough shape. By securing the diamonds in special holders, they ensure that the facets (surfaces) are processed at the correct angle on a rotating grinding disc. Although they usually guide the holders by hand, modern machines are also actively used in this process. At the end of the process, they clean and polish the diamonds and meticulously check the precision and proportions of the cut. In addition to new diamond jewelry, they also undertake the tasks of reshaping existing cut diamonds and repairing damaged stones. Their primary work environments are workshops, production halls, and special studio areas; however, if they work in a jewelry store within the crafts sector, they may also be found in sales areas.
