How much hair or ashes is required to create a cremation diamond?
We request approximately 100 grams of cremated ashes or 1/2 cup of hair for each diamond. If you do not have these exact amounts, we can still create your diamond by adding generic carbon to the process.
Please call to discuss other options, if you are unable to provide the required amount.
Is there a limit to the sources of personal carbon used to create a single diamond?
There is no limit to the number of people and/or pets whose signature carbon can be used to create your diamond. You can combine both source types (e.g., ashes and hair) and multiple people/pets in one source category (e.g., hair from an entire family, including your pet)
What happens if the entire personal carbon source is not used to create the diamond?
It is rare to have excess carbon following the creation process; however, any excess will be returned to you when we have completed your order.
Can our signature carbon ever be removed or extracted from a finished heart in diamond diamond?
No, it cannot. The pure carbon taken from the personal source that you provide is used as the core material from which the diamond is created and can never be altered following diamond growth.
How does the diamond creation process work?
A Heart In Diamond diamond is formed by applying high pressure and high temperature to your source of carbon – a process that replicates conditions found deep inside the earth. We begin with a tiny diamond seed and pure signature carbon. These core components are placed into a growth chamber to form a real “diamond in the rough.” This rough diamond is then cut and polished to the customer’s specifications.
How long does it take to create a heart in diamond diamond?
Production time for our diamonds is 70-120 days, the fastest turnaround time in the industry. If you require jewellery settings, please add 3-6 weeks depending on the design chosen.
How do i know that my cremation diamond is a real diamond?
Every diamond we produce is issued a certificate of authenticity that guarantees that your cremation diamond is physically, optically, and chemically identical to a diamond taken from the Earth. It also includes a full diamond grading report. You can also choose to have additional certification via AnchorCert UK
Is my heart in diamond diamond guaranteed?
Your Heart In Diamond diamond includes a lifetime guarantee against any defects originating from or caused by the diamond creation process. Our diamonds are not guaranteed against damage or loss as a result of theft, wilful damage or breakage, application of high heat treatment, change-of-mind, buyer’s remorse and natural inclusions that result from the growth process.
Does the price of the diamond include mounting and setting?
