1. The Process of Creating Cremation Diamonds

Before delving into the pricing, it's essential to understand the intricate process of transforming ashes into diamonds. We employ the High - Pressure High - Temperature (HPHT) method, which replicates the natural conditions deep within the Earth where diamonds are formed.

1.1 Carbon Extraction

Our highly trained technicians begin by carefully extracting carbon from the cremation ashes. This extraction process is highly precise, ensuring that the integrity of the carbon source is maintained. Specialized equipment and techniques are used to isolate the carbon, removing any impurities that may be present. Typically, we require about 5 - 10 grams of ashes to create a diamond. However, this amount can vary slightly depending on the carbon content in the ashes. If hair is used instead, we usually need around 2 - 3 grams.

1.2 Diamond Growth in the HPHT Chamber

Once the carbon is extracted, it is placed in a specialized chamber. Inside this chamber, extreme pressure, around 5 - 6 gigapascals, and high temperature, approximately 1400 - 1600 degrees Celsius, are applied. Under these conditions, the carbon atoms gradually rearrange themselves and bond together to form diamond crystals. The growth process can take several days to weeks, depending on the desired size of the diamond. Smaller diamonds, such as those around 0.1 - 0.3 carats, generally take less time to grow compared to larger ones.

1.3 Cutting and Polishing

After the diamond has grown to the appropriate size, it undergoes a meticulous cutting and polishing process. Our skilled artisans use state - of - the - art tools and traditional techniques to cut the diamond into various shapes, such as round brilliant cut, princess cut, emerald cut, and more. The cutting style is chosen to enhance the diamond's brilliance and beauty. The polishing process then gives the diamond its final lustrous finish, making it a stunning and tangible memento.

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 can vary slightly depending on the carbon content in the ashes. If you are using 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 affect the overall time. Larger diamonds or those with specific color and clarity requirements may take longer.

4.3 Can I choose the shape of the diamond?

Yes, we offer a variety of diamond shapes to choose from, including round brilliant cut, princess cut, emerald cut, oval cut, marquise cut, and more. The price may vary slightly depending on the shape you select. For example, more intricate or less common shapes may require more skill and time to cut, resulting in a slightly higher price. Please contact our customer service team for more 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. The certificate adds an extra layer of assurance and value to your cremation diamond.

4.5 What if I'm not satisfied with the diamond?

We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with the diamond for any reason, please contact us within 30 days of receiving it. We will work with you to resolve the issue, which may include re - evaluating the diamond's quality, re - cutting the diamond to improve its appearance, providing a replacement diamond if necessary, or offering a refund. Our goal is to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your purchase and that the cremation diamond serves as a meaningful and cherished memento.

4.6 Can I have the diamond set in jewelry?

Absolutely! We offer a wide range of jewelry options, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, in which you can have your cremation diamond set. Our jewelry is available in different metals, such as yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and platinum. You can also choose from various settings, such as prong, bezel, and pave.

4.8 Are there any limitations on the size of the diamond that can be made?

The largest diamond we can currently create is 3 carats. However, please note that as the carat size increases, the price also goes up significantly. Larger diamonds are more difficult to grow, requiring more time, energy, and precision in the HPHT process. Additionally, the production time for larger diamonds may be longer due to the more complex nature of growing a larger diamond crystal.
