1. The Intricate Process of Creating Cremation Diamonds
Before delving into the pricing aspects, it is crucial to understand the complex process involved in creating cremation diamonds. We employ the High - Pressure High - Temperature (HPHT) method, which emulates the natural conditions deep within the Earth where diamonds are formed over millions of years.
1.1 Carbon Extraction
Our highly skilled technicians initiate the process by carefully extracting carbon from the cremation ashes. This extraction procedure is executed with extreme precision to ensure the integrity of the carbon source. Specialized equipment and techniques are utilized to isolate the carbon, removing any impurities that might be present. The amount of ashes required typically ranges from 5 - 10 grams, although this can vary slightly depending on the carbon content within the ashes. In cases where hair is used instead, around 2 - 3 grams are sufficient.
1.2 Diamond Growth in the HPHT Chamber
Once the carbon is successfully extracted, it is placed within a specialized chamber. Inside this chamber, intense pressure, approximately 5 - 6 gigapascals, and high temperature, around 1400 - 1600 degrees Celsius, are applied. Under these extreme conditions, the carbon atoms gradually rearrange themselves. Over a period of time, which can range from several days to weeks depending on the desired size of the diamond, the carbon atoms bond together to form diamond crystals. This process mimics the natural diamond - forming process in the Earth's mantle but is carried out in a controlled laboratory environment.
1.3 Cutting and Polishing
After the diamond has grown to the desired size, it undergoes a meticulous cutting and polishing process. Our team of experienced artisans, trained in the art of diamond cutting, uses state - of - the - art tools and time - honored techniques. The cutting process is designed to enhance the diamond's brilliance and sparkle. Different cutting styles, such as the round brilliant cut, princess cut, and emerald cut, can be chosen to suit individual preferences. The polishing process further refines the diamond's surface, giving it a smooth and lustrous finish. This final step is crucial in bringing out the full beauty of the cremation diamond, resulting in a tangible memento that can be cherished for a lifetime.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
4.1 How much ash is needed to make a diamond?
Generally, we require about 5 - 10 grams of ashes to create a diamond. However, this quantity can vary slightly depending on the carbon content within the ashes. If you choose to use hair instead, we typically need around 2 - 3 grams.
4.2 How long does it take to turn ashes into a diamond?
The process usually takes between 8 - 12 weeks. This includes the time for carbon extraction from the ashes, the diamond - growing process in the HPHT machine, and the subsequent cutting and polishing to give the diamond its final brilliant finish. However, factors such as the size and complexity of the diamond can influence the overall time. Larger diamonds or those with specific color and clarity requirements may take a bit longer.
4.3 Can I choose the shape of the diamond?
Yes, we offer a variety of diamond shapes to choose from, including the classic round brilliant cut, the modern princess cut, the elegant emerald cut, the romantic oval cut, and more. The price may vary slightly depending on the shape you select. For example, more intricate or less common shapes may be priced slightly higher due to the additional skill and time required for cutting. Please contact our customer service team for more detailed information on specific shape - related pricing.
4.4 Do you provide a certificate for the diamond?
Yes, we can provide a certificate from a recognized gemological laboratory, such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI). The certificate will verify the authenticity, carat weight, color, and clarity of the diamond. There is an additional cost associated with obtaining a certificate, which can be discussed with our customer service representatives.
