2023-2024 ALL-STAR TEAMS
WELCOME TO SEASON 14 OF DIAMONDS ALL-STARS!! WE ARE SO EXCITED TO START THIS JOURNEY WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!!
The following teams are a STARTING POINT and please understand, these are NOT final. Every year we make ample changes over the summer in order to get our teams exactly where they need to be. Teams will be finalized by August 31st…for now, this is where we start. If your athlete does not perform at the level of their ability at the time of team selections, your athlete will be moved to the appropriate level and replaced with an athlete who is ready to be in that position. If for any reason we feel that your athlete is not upholding their position, we hold the right to replace them and relocate them to a more fitting team.
Again, these teams are a STARTING POINT and will not be final until August 31st. If you are unhappy with your athlete’s team placement, please understand we are not a program who honors parent complaints concerning where you feel your athlete should be. If you do not feel you can trust our professional judgement for the success of our program and every Diamonds athlete, we may not be the gym for you.
Maintaining skills:
Athletes are expected to maintain and progress the skills that warranted their initial placement within our program. In some cases, an athlete will be required and expected to gain a certain skill that wasn’t performed at team placements. If they cannot obtain the required skill AND/OR if they begin to struggle performing these skills to the standard of Diamonds All-Stars, the following will be required:
Athletes will be required immediately to attend two tumbling classes and one private lesson at Diamonds All-Stars per week for a 14 day period. If after 14 days the athlete has not regained the skill to the standard of Diamonds All-Stars, the athlete will be removed from their current team and placed to an appropriate level for their skills. *IF* a position is not available on an appropriate team, the athlete will become an alternate to the program.
Practices for the new season will start June 7th.
What comes next:
All iclasspro parent portals should be created immediately- instructions will be found in the email you will receive shortly. June Tuition and registration will run on June 8th. If your portal has not been created, your athlete’s position in our program will be void.
The next step will be to attend your first practice- SEASON 14 OFFICIALLY STARTS TOMORROW, JUNE7TH!
Example: a Monday/Wednesday team would have their first practice of the season on Wednesday, June 7th!
Athletes should wear their current practice wear if they are returning and ALL BLACK if they are new to our program. This is 100% mandatory. Fittings for new practice wear will take place starting next week.
Please expect a welcome email with additional information! *This will come tonight. If you have not been receiving our emails, please fill out the interest form again.
You can find that here:

We have *VERY* limited spots available, but one of them may be perfect for you!
Again, we are SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 14!!!

Diamonds All Stars: Our Staff
With a combined total of over 25 years in the All Star cheerleading industry, the staff at Diamonds All Stars are prepared to lead All Star athletes to greatness.
“I get asked all the time “Why Diamonds All Stars?” Well, it’s because Brooklynn has never walked in and felt like a number, or an after thought, because she doesn’t have a certain skill set. She walks into her gym and it’s like her second home. She’s been cheering here for three years but tumbling here for seven. When she decided to make the commitment to All Star Cheer, there was zero question about where she wanted to be and who she was going to compete for. Noel, Dylan, Keleigh, and Allen look for each athlete’s strengths and play them up. They take the time to find out what each kid excels at and then make them shine. They push each athlete to do their best, to be their best. They fight for their teams when someone does them wrong and celebrate their success. The parents look out for each other’s kids – I know that if I am running late or missing something, another parent will make sure my daughter is taken care of. And the friendships my daughter has made are ones that I’m sure will last a long time. We can’t imagine being anywhere else.”
J. Musgrave

It’s undeniable that diamonds can make even the simplest things look more elegant. They are every jeweler’s friend and celebrities love them. However, beauty always has a price – and it’s not just about how much a diamond costs. The mining of natural diamonds destroys the environment. And it does not invest in modern trends.
Lab-grown diamonds are another matter. They are environmentally friendly and cheaper. Also, lab-grown diamonds are mainstream, with even celebrities joining in. Below, we will talk about celebrities who choose lab-grown diamonds over natural ones.
Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz is one of the strong supporters of lab-grown diamonds. At the 71st Cannes Film Festival, the actress walked the red carpet wearing Atelier Swarovski earrings.
The jewelry was designed by the actress herself as part of the Atelier Swarovski collaboration. The Cruz collection features lab-created diamonds, rubies, sapphires and ethically sourced topazes.
Penelope Cruz has already released two collections: Penélope Cruz Fine Jewelry – jewelry that she presents on the red carpet, and Penélope Cruz MoonSun – a more democratic series for every day.
Her jewelry line is popular with Mandy Moore, Zendaya, Laura Dern, Olivia Palermo and Carly Ross.
Billy Porter
The legendary and iconic Billy Porter is a trendsetter and a fan of lab-created diamonds. He was seen wearing a Diamond Foundry Lark and Berry necklace during the 2020 Oscars.
A necklace with 500 64-carat diamonds from Lark & Berry sparkled brighter than the actor’s frilly image.
Lady Gaga
American singer, actress and songwriter Lady Gaga is also an active environmentalist and favors lab-grown diamonds.
At the premiere of her film A Star Is Born, she wore a Victorian dress by Alexander McQueen with a ruffled collar and beaded corset. To complete the look, she wore a pair of lab-grown stone cluster earrings by London-based jewelry designer Anabela Chan.

TOP 10 most expensive diamonds in the world and their price
created in partnership between man and nature. There is some incredible irresistible magic in these stones. Neither the weak nor the strong of this world could resist their perfection.
Monks and warriors, emperors and revolutionaries, secular lionesses and housewives, ordinary people and the highest aristocracy – they were all fascinated and continue to be fascinated by the pure cold and starry brilliance on diamond facets. The largest of the diamonds are so rare and expensive that they are given their own names. And behind each stretches a long, often dark, and sometimes bloody trail, delightful and frightening. Find out which is the most expensive diamond in the world, what kind of stones are in the TOP 10 of the most-most, admire their beauty and be horrified by the price.
So, we present to your attention the most expensive diamonds in the world.
1st place — colorless Kohinoor
The Koh-i-noor (Koh-i-noor, Kohinoor) — colorless diamond weighing 105.6 carats. If one day you are asked the name of the most expensive diamond, feel free to answer “Kohinoor”. Now “Kohinoor” (translated from Persian as “Mountain of Light”) adorns the British crown, which has been owned for more than 170 years. The stone was presented to Queen Victoria in 1850 and originally weighed 190 ct. After cutting, the weight of the diamond was almost halved, and in 1853 it became the main decoration of the crown.
Its history spans more than seven centuries, and then it is lost in the depths of not even centuries, but millennia. They say that initially the most expensive diamond was one of three fragments of a diamond that weighed more than 700 carats. Until 1305, the stone shone on the turbans of the rulers of Malwa (Northern India), later passed into the hands of the Mughal dynasty, who owned it until 1739. Later, Kohinoor “moved” to Persia together with the new owner, the invader Nadir Shah, and then, with the next owner, Ahmad Shah Abdali, went to Afghanistan.
The stone has a terrible reputation. According to legend, only a woman and one who is pure of heart can wield it with impunity. And indeed, almost everyone who in one way or another became the owners of the “Mountain of Light” died, and often a violent death. Only when the stone passed to Queen Victoria did the chain of victims break.
And, most importantly, how much is the most expensive diamond in the world? The stone is considered priceless, but according to experts, the cost of the most expensive diamond is over $1 billion .
2nd place – pale yellow “Sancy”
Golden “Sancy” has a teardrop shape, weighs 55.23 carats and is considered one of the most famous and expensive stones in Europe. The stone was found by the merchant Jagattunga in India at the beginning of the last millennium, according to legend, at the bottom of a mountain gorge. They say that after grinding, the diamond lost half of its mass – it originally weighed 101.25 carats. Since then, merchants, merchants, sultans, warriors, thieves, kings and emperors have become owners of the diamond. And, according to rumors, he brought misfortune to many.
Among its owners (and often victims) were Charles the Bold, who wore a stone on his helmet, Mary of Burgundy, Henry III and Henry IV, James I, Charles I, Cardinal Mazarin, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, who inserted “Sancy” into fan clasp. The last private owners of the diamond are the Astor family of industrialists, who are on a par with the Vanderbilts and the Rockefellers. The stone stayed with the Astor family for 72 years, after which it was sold to the Louvre for $1 million. At the moment, none of the experts can determine the cost of the stone.
3rd place – colorless diamond “Great Star of Africa” (aka “Cullinan I”)
“Cullinan I” – one of 9 parts that previously made up the world’s largest jewelry diamond “Cullinan”, weighing 3106 .75 carats (over half a kilo). Cullinan was found at the beginning of the last century in Africa, in the mine of the diamond magnate, Sir Thomas Cullinan. In 1902, the diamond became the property of the British crown – it was presented to Edward VII, who gave the stone to be cut by the famous jewelry workshop. It is said that the owner of the workshop, the best cutter in Europe, Asher, took months to find that single point on the surface of the stone, which was to be struck. After this blow, the stone split into two large blocks, seven smaller ones and a hundred very small ones. It took several years to further cut all the parts.
The largest piece became the blank for the “Cullinan I” – a colorless teardrop-shaped diamond with 74 facets weighing 530.2 carats. Now the “Star of Africa” is the central decoration of the scepter of the English monarchs. In 1908, the stone was valued at $2.5 million (now $51 million). Experts believe that the Cullinan is the third most expensive diamond in the world: its price is approximately $400 million . Formally, the stone is considered priceless.
4th place – sapphire gray blue “Hope” (“Blue French”)
The Hope diamond weighs 45. 52 carats and is cushion cut. The clarity of the diamond is VS1. According to legend, the diamond was stolen from a statue of an ancient Indian goddess and endowed with the ability to bring trouble to its owners. It is authentically known that a carelessly cut triangular stone weighing 115 carats was bought by Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, who sold it to Louis XIV. After cutting, the stone “lost weight” to 69 carats, and the diamond acquired its current weight and shape after the next recut. Now “Hope” is stored in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History (Washington) and is estimated at $350 million .
5th Place – Crystal Clear Centenary Diamond
The unique 273.85 carat Centenary diamond with a flawless cut in the shape of a heart has the highest clarity FI and the highest color D. It is considered the largest stone with such exemplary characteristics. It got its name in honor of the centennial anniversary of the diamond mining company that discovered it. First presented to the public in 1988, and in faceted form – in 1991. In 2008, the stone was sold to a private collection. Today “Century” is valued at $100 million .
6th place – Pink Star
Pink Star is the rarest representative of pink diamonds weighing 59.6 carats. It is the largest colored diamond and is considered the finest pink diamond in the world. The world saw the Pink Star in 2003, years after a 100-carat pink diamond was found in a South African mine and cut by a team of 8 jewelers. In the fall of 2013, at Sotheby’s, the stone was purchased for $83 million .
7th place — Wittelsbach Blue
The Wittelsbach Blue Diamond weighs 35.56 carats and is truly royal in color. Nobody knows where he came from. It is only known that the merchant Jean-Baptiste Tavernier also brought it to Europe, and in 1722 the stone became part of the dowry of Mary of Austria, became the property of the Wittelsbach house, and later adorned the Bavarian crown. In 2008, the diamond was sold to a British jeweler for $24.3 million, and then, after being recut, it changed its owner to the Qatari emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, who bought the stone for $80 million .
8th place – “Blue Moon”
This 12.03-carat sky-blue stone got its name from an English proverb, the analogue of which is Russian – “after rain on Thursday.” Literally, it sounds like “once in a blue moon”, which means “with a blue moon.” So they say about an unusually rare event.
A 29.6 carat blue diamond found in an African mine in 2014. And after it was cut in 2015, the owner of the rarest treasure was a seven-year-old girl Josephine, the daughter of a Hong Kong millionaire who bought the diamond for $48.4 million .
9th place — flawless “Pink Graff”
This amazing stone of the most delicate pink shade has a classic cut and a weight of 24.78 carats. It belongs to the rarest group IIa stones and contains almost no impurities. Only less than 2% of mined diamonds can boast of such characteristics. No one knows where the stone came from, where it was extracted from the depths, and who cut it. He acquired his name only in 2010, when at Sotheby’s he was sold for $46 million purchased by Lawrence Graff.
10th place — pink “Little Prince”
The “Little Prince” diamond of the finest, absolutely childish and, moreover, noblest pink shade weighs 34.65 carats and was found in the famous Indian mines more than three centuries ago. The stone was the property of the rulers of Hyderabad, but in 1960, when the financial situation of one of them was shaken, it was auctioned off. For almost half a century, nothing was heard about the stone, until in 2013 it reappeared at auction and was sold for $39.3 million to unknown buyer.
Large diamond for your collection
Dreaming of a large diamond? Would you like to try on a gem weighing over 10 carats? Then we present the star of our collection – a cushion-cut diamond.
