The decisions behind every stone.
ICECUT BV works with diamonds in Antwerp: cutting and polishing rough stones, and recutting, repolishing and repairing stones that are already polished.
Rough diamond: seeing the potential
With a rough diamond, the aim is the largest clean, well-proportioned polished stone, keeping as much valuable weight as possible. Every plan starts with the individual stone: its inclusions, shape and character. Sometimes material has to be removed to reach a better finished diamond.
Cutting and polishing: precision in every decision
From the outline to the final polish, each choice affects the next: the shape, the proportions, the facets, the symmetry. We keep all of them in view so the finished stone performs as well as the rough allows.
Recutting, repolishing and repair
A polished diamond can be chipped, scratched or abraded. Depending on the stone and the damage, specialist recutting or repolishing may improve it. Correcting a flaw can mean removing material, so some carat weight may be lost. We assess each stone first and explain what is realistic.
Keep as much of the stone as possible, and cut it right.

Services
Rough diamond cutting
Planning and cutting rough stones for the largest clean, well-proportioned polished diamond each one can give.
Diamond recutting
Restoring polished stones with chipped edges, damaged facets or weak proportions. Material is removed with care, and some carat weight may be lost.
Diamond repolishing
Renewing worn or scratched surfaces and facet edges so the stone regains its finish.
Damage correction
Each case is assessed first. The right approach depends on the stone and the damage, and we explain what is realistic.
Process
From rough stone to finished diamond.
Assess
Under magnification we study the shape, inclusions and any damage, then plan the result.
Cut
The outline and proportions are established. Material removed here cannot be returned.
Polish
Facets are finished and refined for symmetry and surface quality.
Inspect
The result is checked against the plan before the stone is returned.
Recutting and repolishing follow the same path: assess the stone, decide what the damage allows, then correct it with as little loss as possible.
