My job in Diamonds

The other day, my boss had me sort through about 300 carats of one tenth of a carat diamonds.  That’s about three thousand total individual diamonds!  These sized diamonds will mostly go into engagement rings as side diamonds.  I had to sort them by color, clarity, and sieve size.  The parcel was mostly color diamonds, so I only had to sort them between D Color Diamonds, E color diamonds, and F Color Diamond.  Then I had to sort those three piles into three different clarity piles.  Those were clean (VVS+), VS, and SI.  Then I had to take out my handy sieve plates and sieve the whole thing by mm.
