FAQs about turning ashes into diamonds

Can I turn any ashes into a diamond?

The vast majority of ashes can be used to create a memorial diamond; however, there are some exceptions. For example, cremated remains that have been scattered or buried are not suitable for creating diamonds. This is because the ashes need to be collected in order to undergo the process.

How much does it cost to turn ashes into diamonds?

The price of turning ashes into diamonds varies depending on the size and quality of the diamond you desire. However, as a general guide, expect to pay between $2000 and $5000 for a 0.25-carat diamond. Larger diamonds will obviously cost more money.

Is it safe to wear my ash diamond?

Yes, it is perfectly safe to wear your ash diamond. The memorial diamonds are created using high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) processes, which are the same as those used to create natural diamonds. As such, they are just as solid and durable. So, now look at jewels made from ashes.

How long does the process take?

The entire process, from start to finish, usually takes around two to three months. This includes collecting the ashes, creating the diamond, and setting it into jewelry.

Can I choose the color of my diamond?

When you turn ashes into diamonds, you do have some control over the color of the finished product. This is because different types of impurities can be added during the creation process to produce different colors. For example, adding boron will create a blue diamond, while nitrogen produces a yellow diamond.

What is the best way to store my ash diamond?

You should treat your ash diamond precisely the same as you would any other piece of jewelry. That means storing it in a safe, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. You should also have it cleaned and serviced regularly to keep it looking its best.

Can I inscribe anything on my ash diamond?

Yes, you can have words or images inscribed on your memorial diamond. This is often done on the side of the stone, which is not visible when worn as jewelry. Inscriptions can be a great way to personalize your diamond and make it even more special.

What if I change my mind after the diamond is made?

How big of a diamond can I make?

The size of the diamond is limited only by the number of ashes you have. It is possible to create very large diamonds; however, they will be more expensive.

Can I turn multiple people's ashes into diamonds?

Yes, it is possible to use the ashes of multiple people to create a single memorial diamond. This can be a great way to commemorate a group of people, such as family members or close friends.

What if I don't have enough ashes?

We can still create a smaller stone if you do not have enough ashes to create a full-sized diamond. Alternatively, we can mix the ashes with another material, such as glass or concrete, to create a unique memorial.
