Losing a loved one is one of life’s most profound experiences, leaving behind memories that are cherished forever. While photos, keepsakes, and stories help preserve these memories, there is now a revolutionary and meaningful way to honor someone special: transforming cremation ashes into diamonds. With this unique approach, you can carry a piece of your loved one with you, literally, in the form of a sparkling diamond.
Saint Diamonds specializes in creating Diamonds made from ashes, offering families a tangible, everlasting tribute to those they hold dear.
What Does “Diamonds from Human Ashes” Mean?
Diamonds from human ashes are real diamonds created using the carbon found in cremated remains or hair. Unlike traditional diamonds mined from the Earth, these diamonds are lab-grown using high-tech methods that replicate the natural processes of diamond formation. Chemically, physically, and visually, these diamonds are indistinguishable from natural ones.
This innovative process allows families to transform grief into something beautiful and enduring. Turning human ashes into a diamond is more than just a memorial—it’s a meaningful keepsake that can be passed down for generations.
How Are Human Ashes Turned Into Diamonds?
Step 1: Carbon Extraction
The journey begins by extracting carbon from cremation ashes or hair. Carbon is the key element in diamonds, and obtaining it from remains ensures that the resulting diamond is a true representation of your loved one.
Step 2: Purification
Once extracted, the carbon undergoes a purification process to remove impurities. This guarantees that the final diamond will have clarity and brilliance, free from unwanted materials.
Step 3: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) Diamond Creation
The purified carbon is placed into a high-pressure, high-temperature chamber, simulating the conditions found deep within the Earth. Over several weeks, the carbon crystallizes to form a rough diamond.
Step 4: Cutting and Polishing
Expert gemologists then cut and polish the rough diamond into the desired shape and size. Whether you prefer a classic round cut or a more unique style, this step brings out the brilliance of the diamond.
