The EightStar Process
The cutting process is intense, but an EightStar Diamond cannot be produced by an automated or computerized system - or by adhering to any rigid formula for external appearance. The secret of the EightStar is that each cutter learns to let the diamond dictate its own path to perfect light return.
Learning to find the internal path in each stone is what the cutter's long training is all about. Simply cutting to standardized measurements doesn't work to produce a high-performance diamond.
This means that cutting the stone will demand exceptional time and patience. On average, each EightStar Diamond will take 32 hours. During these hours, the cutter will consult the Firescope hundreds of time to ensure that the facets are placed perfectly.
This is why the EightStar is so exclusive. Only a limited number can be produced each year.
This is very different than other diamond companies. Eight hours per stone is considered generous in most cutting factories, even those producing well-cut diamonds. And that means many more diamonds with much less light return.
