Ashes Diamond: Transforming Memories into Eternal Brilliance
Introduction
Losing a loved one is an emotionally transformative experience. At Ashes Diamond, we offer a revolutionary way to honor their memory by transforming cremation ashes or hair into lab-grown diamonds. Combining cutting-edge technology with compassionate service, our diamonds are not only chemically and optically identical to natural diamonds but also carry profound sentimental value. This guide provides a detailed overview of our process, regional pricing (North America, Europe, South America, Middle East), and competitive advantages over leading brands like Eternal Memorials, Heart In Diamond, and Lonité.
Section 1: The Science of Cremation Diamonds
1.1 The Carbon Extraction Process
The human body contains approximately 18% carbon, concentrated in bones, teeth, and tissues. During cremation, this carbon converts into carbon dioxide and residual carbon (2–4% of ashes). Our proprietary extraction process involves:
- Acid Purification: Removal of minerals (calcium, magnesium) using hydrochloric and nitric acids.
- High-Temperature Calcination: Heating at 2,500°C to isolate 99.99% pure carbon.
- Graphitization: Compression into graphite sheets for diamond synthesis.
1.2 Diamond Growth: HPHT vs. CVD Technology
- HPHT (High-Pressure High-Temperature): Mimics Earth’s mantle conditions (60 kilobars, 1,500°C) to create vivid-colored diamonds (blue, yellow) in 8–16 weeks.
- CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): Ionizes methane gas to deposit carbon layers, producing colorless or pink diamonds in 6–12 weeks.
1.3 Certification & Quality Assurance
Every diamond undergoes rigorous testing by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), certifying the 4Cs (Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity). Our diamonds achieve VS1–VVS2 clarity and F–G color grades, rivaling natural diamonds.
