*** Most diamond companies and firms are small traders who specialize in one kind of shape.
Example: specialising in small marquise shaped diamonds from 0.03 to 0.10 carats. Many of these firms are individual brokers.
Very difficult to distinguish the diamond companies, cutters, polishers, producers of polished diamonds from the intermediaries!
Only a few diamond companies are specialized in larger sizes all shapes such as Ajediam.
