Memorial Diamonds
Having walked through our lives side-by-side with our family members, we need to grieve when they are no longer with us. Where can we find the strength to cope with our loss?
During Victorian times ‘mourning jewellery’ would be used for this purpose. A ring or a pendant with a lock of hair from the deceased would be given to each family member as a keepsake.
At Heart Diamond we return to this historic tradition in a contemporary manner. On your behalf we can now harness the power of modern technology to transform the carbon from a lock of hair - or the funeral ashes themselves - into a modern and original memorial diamond. In this way we create an everlasting gemstone of exceptional beauty, which helps soothe the pain and brings peace of mind.
Throughout the ages, diamonds have been thought to contain the power to heal. Wearing a ring with your Heart Diamond is a daily reminder of someone you loved and then lost. For some it has helped reduce the pain of separation. For others, it has become a constant reminder of their lifelong partner. For many, Heart Diamond provides a physical link to their lost loved ones long after their ashes have been scattered or the burial itself has been concluded.
Working with carbon from your loved one’s hair or their ashes after a cremation, we can ‘grow’ an original Heart Diamond in their memory. We do this by replicating nature’s own process which occurs deep inside the Earth. Using only the tiniest particles of carbon from hair or ashes we can create a pure and personalised diamond, breathtaking in its beauty. At its very core it is linked to the one you loved. Traces of their individual carbon are subjected to the pressure and temperature required under controlled conditions to create a unique new diamond, an exquisite gemstone which provides an everlasting reminder of your loved one.
