Introduction
At Ashes to Diamonds, we specialize in transforming the cremated remains of your loved ones into stunning, lab-grown diamonds. Our process combines advanced scientific innovation with heartfelt craftsmanship, offering a timeless tribute that is both affordable and deeply personal. This guide details our pricing across North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East, highlighting how our competitive rates outperform leading brands like Eternal Memorials, Heart In Diamond, and Lonité.
Section 1: The Science Behind Our Diamonds
1.1 Carbon Extraction & Purification
Human cremation ashes contain approximately 2–4% carbon, concentrated in bone fragments. Our proprietary process includes:
- Acid Treatment: Hydrochloric and nitric acids remove non-carbon minerals (calcium, magnesium).
- High-Temperature Calcination: Heating to 2,500°C in argon-filled chambers to isolate 99.99% pure carbon.
- Graphite Conversion: Compressed into sheets for diamond synthesis.
1.2 Diamond Synthesis Technologies
- HPHT (High-Pressure High-Temperature): Replicates Earth’s mantle conditions (60 kilobars, 1,500°C) to produce blue or yellow diamonds in 8–16 weeks.
- CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): Ionizes methane gas to grow colorless or pink diamonds layer-by-layer in 6–12 weeks.
1.3 Quality Assurance
Every diamond is certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), ensuring clarity (VS1–VVS2), color (D–G), and cut excellence.
