Over several weeks, the carbon atoms bond and transform into a diamond crystal structure. The result is a genuine diamond, chemically identical to natural diamonds. This transformation creates a stunning gemstone, and offers a lasting and tangible memory of the precious child. Turning ashes into diamonds provides a deeply personal and cherished keepsake, a testament to their short but precious life.

The Process of Creating Cremation Diamonds

The process of creating cremation diamonds is a meticulous and advanced procedure:



  • STEP 1: Material Examination

The process begins by collecting a small portion of the loved one's ashes. The carbon in the ashes is carefully checked to make sure it's suitable for making a diamond.


  • STEP 2: Planetary Nano-Crystallization

The carbon is then grounded into a nanopowder in a controlled chemical environment. This process ensures that the carbon is well-preserved, while other elements are reduced to a minimum.


  • STEP 3: Heated Vacuum Purification

The carbon is purified in a heated vacuum, which helps remove any impurities, leaving only pure carbon.


  • STEP 4: Wet Chemical Carbon Purification

The carbon is further cleaned using a chemical process, making it fully ready for the diamond-making stage.


  • STEP 5: HPHT Crystallization 

The purified carbon is placed in a special machine that uses high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) to form a diamond. Over several weeks, the carbon atoms align and turn into a diamond crystal.


  • STEP 6: Diamond Polishing

Once the diamond crystal is formed, skilled gemologists carefully cut and polish the diamond to make sure it shines brilliantly and looks its best.
