Simple 4 Step Process

• Select your memorial diamond (If required - Select or design your jewellery setting)

• Send your loved one’s hair or ashes to the UK laboratory

• The lab then creates the ashes into diamonds

• Receive your personal diamond

The Laboratory Process

• When the sample of ashes (approximately 100 grams) is received, an order ID number is issued so that you can track the progress of the diamond throughout the creation process.

• Analysis of the ashes is completed and the carbon within that sample is extracted and added to a crystalline matrix diamond-growing foundation.

• The diamond-growing foundation combined with the carbon sample is placed in the middle of an HPHT machine where it is exposed to an excess of 2,000°C and 60,000 atmospheres of pressure. This environment causes the carbon to grow into a diamond.

• Once the diamond growth phase is complete, industry experts cut and polish the memorial diamond according to the highest standards.

• The diamond is then graded and ran through rigorous quality controls.

• Finally, an authenticity certificate is issued that lists all the details of the newly-created cremation diamond.
