Surat: The Diamond City – Meet the Artisans Behind the Sparkle
Where Skilled Hands & Timeless Tradition Shape the Future of Diamonds
Surat is not just a city; it is the heartbeat of the world’s diamond industry. Nearly 90% of the world’s diamonds are cut and polished right here, by thousands of skilled artisans whose craftsmanship transforms rough stones into breathtaking brilliance.
In this blog, we take you inside Surat’s diamond world—where technology, tradition, and human touch come together to create magic.
1. The Soul of Surat: The Artisans Who Shape Light
Behind every sparkling diamond lies a journey that begins in the hands of a master artisan.
These craftsmen and craftswomen have spent years—sometimes decades—perfecting the art of:
- Marking a rough diamond
- Mapping its potential
- Cutting with absolute precision
- Polishing each facet until it breathes fire
Their eyes know what machines cannot see.
Their hands perform what technology cannot replicate.
They turn an ordinary stone into a masterpiece that carries emotion, value, and memories.
Surat’s artisans are the unsung heroes who give diamonds their life.
2. A Heritage of Craftsmanship – Passed Through Generations
Surat’s diamond industry is built not only on skill, but on tradition.
Most artisans come from families where this craft has been handed down for two or three generations.
They grow up watching elders:
- Study rough stones under a loupe
- Cut with concentration
- Polish with patience
- Celebrate the shine that only comes from dedication
This is why Surat’s diamonds carry a special identity—the identity of heritage craftsmanship.
3. Technology Meets Tradition: Surat’s Evolution
While Surat respects its roots, it also leads the future of the diamond world.
Today, the city uses:
- Laser cutting machines
- AI-based mapping technology
- 3D modeling systems
- Automated polishing tools
These innovations increase precision and reduce waste while maintaining the beauty of traditional hand-work.
The result? A perfect fusion of:
✨ Human emotion
✨ Artistic imagination
✨ Technological brilliance
And this unique combination makes Surat the global hub of both natural and lab-grown diamond cutting.
4. Surat & the Rise of Lab-Grown Diamonds
In recent years, Surat has embraced the future—lab-grown diamonds.
Today, the same skilled artisans who once polished natural diamonds are mastering the new age of:
- CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamonds
- HPHT diamonds
They treat lab-grown diamonds with the same love and precision because for them, the real magic is not in “how the diamond was formed”…
But in how beautifully it is cut.
This is why Six79 proudly sources and works with Surat’s finest talent.
