A cremation diamond is a genuine laboratory-grown diamond created through an order associated with cremated ashes or hair.
You choose the diamond specification and whether to keep it loose or place it in a compatible jewellery setting.
When we receive suitable ashes, hair or fur, the material is registered to your order, analysed and prepared before its carbon becomes part of the diamond-growth foundation.
The finished diamond gives the submitted material a documented connection to a personal object you can keep or wear.
HPHT technology creates the pressure and temperature needed to grow the rough diamond. It is then cut and polished to the specification agreed for the order.
Current choices include different carat ranges, colours and cuts, with jewellery selected separately. We confirm availability before the order is placed.
A personal connection recorded through the order.
When someone that you love dearly is going through the dying process, or has experienced death — even a mere thought of that person becomes more precious than pearls.
The connection to the submitted material is recorded through the order. The finished diamond does not preserve DNA or a physical part of the person.
Why some people choose a cremation diamond.
Grief can affect daily life in many different ways. A personal diamond may become a meaningful memorial for some people, but it does not determine how grief will change over time.
Some customers choose a personal diamond as one way to mark a relationship or remember a person or pet. It is a memorial choice, not a treatment for grief.
A personal diamond can represent a relationship after a death.
A personal diamond can represent a relationship after a death, just as jewellery may mark a wedding, anniversary or another important event.
A personal diamond can remain loose or be placed in jewellery, giving the order a lasting physical form without claiming that the finished stone contains the person.
A good dog can never be replaced. Ever.
Your companion that never left your side. The one that was there for you even when the rest of the world wasn’t. That loving dog that always seemed to understand just what you were going though.
A pet cannot be replaced. If a personal diamond feels right, suitable ashes or fur can be used for an order associated with that pet.
A person’s jewellery should tell a tale. What’s yours say?
If you research any of the most famous diamonds around the world and in the history of the United Kingdom — you are going to find a unique tale behind each piece (for example the 105.6-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond whose acquisition has been a matter of debate since 1849).
A personal diamond and a natural diamond should be compared by specification, origin, documentation and current price. See the UK price table for Heart In Diamond options.
In the face of grief — remember — diamonds are made under pressure.
Memorials and rituals mean different things to different people. Customer accounts can explain what a personal diamond meant to them, without promising the same emotional result for everyone.
Let your heart be your guide
Events in life that are typically associated with purchasing diamonds (weddings, funerals, estate planning, anniversaries) — are highly emotional in nature.
Take time to compare the process, material requirements, diamond choices, documents, price and jewellery before deciding whether a personal diamond is right for you.
Follow the logic and reasoning in your mind
If you are being led to purchase a laboratory-grown diamond, the next logical step is to consider all the details. You will quickly realise that synthetic diamonds just make sense.
The order covers the diamond specification, suitable source material and the documented growth process. See the current UK price table rather than relying on a general comparison with mined diamonds.

- Experience the satisfaction and surprise of having your personalised diamond delivered right to your door.
Check the current UK price before you order
Personal-diamond and natural-diamond prices vary by specification and seller. Compare current figures rather than assuming one category always costs less.
Our current loose-diamond prices are published on the UK price page. Jewellery and optional services are priced separately, and we confirm the complete total before the order is accepted.
