EightStar in America
Cutting an EightStar Diamond takes, on average, 32 hours - 80 percent of a normal 40-hour work week. This requires extraordinary patience, keen precision, and steadfast dedication.
This means the diamond is cut in limited quantities, though production is more than enough to meet the needs of the company's nearly 50 distributors nationwide - all independent jewelers who receive special training and attend annual company seminars.
Because of recent headlines about "conflict diamonds" from Africa, EightStar has been buying all of its diamonds under two carats from a large Canadian mining company.
EightStar will continue to do so - even if the crisis ends. After all, selling North American-mined diamonds is the newest point of pride for a company that cuts in
America, using American labor.
