EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and skill of a diamond polisher at work in his Jaipur, India workshop in 1987. The man, dressed in simple clothing, is squatting on the floor by the window, his cross-legged position allowing him to easily maneuver the hand-powered cutting machine. Sweat drips from his brow as he meticulously grinds and polishes each diamond, his expression one of deep concentration. The scene transports us back to the 1980s, a time when the diamond industry in Rajasthan, India was thriving. The workshop, which could be described as a sweatshop, is filled with the sounds of grinding wheels and the faint glint of diamonds reflecting the sunlight that filters in through the window. Despite the harsh conditions, the diamond polisher's craftsmanship and skill are on full display. Each diamond is carefully faceted by hand, transforming rough stones into brilliant gems. The intricate process of cutting and polishing is a testament to the artisanal traditions that have been passed down through generations in Jaipur. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human element behind the production of diamonds, and the dedication and skill required to transform raw materials into precious gems. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural significance of diamond cutting in Rajasthan, India, and the enduring allure of this ancient craft.
