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.

2.1 Japan

In Japan, we offer a diverse range of options to meet the varying budgets and preferences of our customers.

2.1.1 Yellow Diamonds

For those looking for a more budget - friendly option, our 0.10 ct yellow diamonds start at ¥90,000. Yellow diamonds are relatively easier to produce compared to colorless diamonds during the HPHT process, as the yellow color can be achieved with a slightly different set of conditions within the growth chamber. This makes them an attractive choice for customers who are price - conscious but still want to have a meaningful cremation diamond.

2.1.2 Colorless Diamonds

If you prefer a classic and timeless look, our colorless diamonds are an excellent choice. A 0.10 ct colorless diamond is priced at ¥120,000. As the carat size increases, the price also escalates in a proportionate manner. A 0.20 ct colorless diamond is priced at ¥180,000, while a 0.30 ct colorless diamond will cost you ¥250,000. For those who desire a larger memento, a 0.50 ct colorless diamond is available for ¥400,000, and a 1.00 - 1.29 ct colorless diamond is priced at ¥800,000.

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.
