Diamond polishing is the final polishing of the diamond. In a diamond factory, one would find a diamond ''crossworker'' who first places the main facets on a diamond (blocking the diamond). This is done to ensure maximum weight, clarity and best angles for the specific shape of diamond. After initial crossworking is complete, the diamond is finalized by smoothing the main facets by the crossworker, which is known as polishing the diamond. After the main facets have been polished by the crossworker, the final facets are polished onto the diamond by a ''brillianteer''. The facets added are the stars, top and bottom halves are also known as upper and lower girdle facets.
