The EightStar Diamond "
Unquestionably The World's Finest Diamond"
The level at which a diamond performs brilliancy, scintillation and fire is a direct function the proportions and precision of how it is cut. To achieve a flawless performance and have flawless beauty a diamond must be cut perfectly precise. Therefor the most precisely cut diamond is the most beautiful diamond. The EightStar Diamond.

The paradox is that to achieve a flawless cut the finished diamond will yield the least amount of weight from the rough material. The reward is that even though it may weigh less on a scale it will appear larger because of a higher level of brilliance, scintillation and fire performance. The tragedy is that the economics of weight yield and the cost of cutting quality control is why diamond cutters deviate from precision sacrificing beauty.

A diamond that weighs exactly one (1.000 ct.) carat should measure exactly 6.52mm in diameter. Invented in 1984, the FireScope is the first gemological testing instrument that illustrates the precision level of a diamonds performance, showing if light is escaping. The EightStar Diamond has no unplanned light leakage because the FireScope technology is used in the cutting process and no expense is spared to achieve perfection.




6 photographs of different diamonds as seen in the FireScope, graduating in performance quality from the best on the far left to the poorest on the far right.

The diamond on the far left is an EightStar Diamond. The one to the right of it is an EightStar Diamond quality control reject. It must go back to the cutter for re-cutting because of the small white triangles you see which are areas of unplanned light leakage. It does not pass the optical test with impunity as does the one on the left.

The third diamond is a "hearts and arrows" diamond, (proclaimed by those who produce them as the finest cut diamond today . . .) The next diamond is "ideal" cut and the next two are normal commercial diamonds.

Look in the center of the EightStar diamond and notice the 8 red triangles surrounding the lighter center, or eye, of the diamond. These are reflections of the star facets of the diamond and are the very most difficult part of making an Eightstar dia`mond perfect optically. Compare these to all other diamonds when you look in the FireScope. Since each of those 8 red triangles is made by two facets whose reflections overlap and form one, the best any other daimon company can do -- hearts and arrows for example -- is to end up with 16 little triangles all of different sizes, shapes and patterns. EightStar Diamond Company has been doing this for 17 years. They have a lead of 15 years on cutters trying to cut diamonds like EightStar. There are more than three hundred firms trying, none has succeeded. EightStar continues to make the most beautiful and optically symmetrical diamond in existence, the leader, the origin of the concept.

The reason EightStar diamonds perform better than all other diamonds is because of what you see in the firescope. An EightStar diamond achieves optical symmetry in all three dimensions. Light rays have exactly perfect places to go to after striking one facet and reflecting away. In this tiny world of mirrors inside a diamond, the most imperceptible movement of a facet will forever change the way light travels within any particular diamond.

EightStar Diamond cutters are the Leonardo da Vinci's of the diamond cutting art.
