1. The Process of Creating Cremation Diamonds

Before we look into the pricing details, it's important to understand the intricate process that turns cremation ashes into diamonds. We use the High - Pressure High - Temperature (HPHT) method, which replicates the natural conditions deep within the Earth where diamonds are formed over millions of years.

1.1 Carbon Extraction

Our team of highly skilled and experienced technicians starts the process by carefully extracting carbon from the cremation ashes. This extraction procedure requires extreme precision to ensure the integrity of the carbon source. Specialized equipment and advanced techniques are used to isolate the carbon, meticulously removing any impurities that might be present. Generally, we need about 5 - 10 grams of ashes to create a diamond. However, this amount 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 inside a specialized chamber. Inside this chamber, intense pressure, around 5 - 6 gigapascals, and high temperature, approximately 1400 - 1600 degrees Celsius, are applied. Under these extreme 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 in the 0.1 - 0.3 carat range, usually take less time to grow compared to larger ones. The growth rate is carefully monitored and adjusted to ensure that the quality and characteristics of the diamond meet our high - quality standards.

1.3 Cutting and Polishing

After the diamond has grown to the appropriate size, it goes through a meticulous cutting and polishing process. Our skilled artisans, trained in the art of diamond cutting, use state - of - the - art tools and traditional 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, emerald cut, oval cut, marquise cut, and more, can be chosen to suit individual preferences. The round brilliant cut, for example, is known for its maximum light return, creating a dazzling display of fire and brilliance. The princess cut, with its square shape and sharp corners, offers a modern and elegant look. 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 need about 5 - 10 grams of ashes to create a diamond. However, this can vary a bit depending on the carbon content in the ashes. If you are using hair instead, we usually 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 like 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. For example, a 3 - carat diamond may take closer to 12 weeks or even a bit longer because of the more complex growth process and the need for more precise control of the HPHT conditions.

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. More intricate or less common shapes may need more skill and time to cut, resulting in a slightly higher price. For example, a marquise cut, with its unique and elongated shape, may be priced a bit higher than a more standard round brilliant cut. 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 getting a certificate, which can be discussed with our customer service representatives. The GIA certificate, for example, is highly respected in the industry and gives detailed information about the diamond's quality, adding an extra layer of assurance and value to your cremation diamond.
