A personal diamond is a significant purchase. Start with the current loose-diamond price, then add jewellery and optional services only if they suit your requirements and budget.
Table of contents
There is no need to make a memorial purchase before you are ready. Comparing the available specifications and complete price can help you decide whether a personal diamond is right for you.
The sections below explain how colour, carat range, jewellery and metal affect the complete ashes-to-diamond price.
Colour
The current UK price table compares available colours across each carat range. Prices can change, so use that table rather than figures from the original article.
Compare the colours available in the carat range you want. The least expensive colour is not the same in every range.
Carat size
Available carat ranges and colours are shown on the current price page. Choose the diamond first, then add jewellery or optional services separately.
Use the current table to compare smaller carat ranges by their exact finished weight. This gives you a clearer like-for-like comparison than informal size labels.
Setting
The most important factor which affects the turning ashes into diamonds cost is the setting. To stay within budget, consider passing on the setting and keeping your diamond on its own somewhere safe at home.
Jewellery prices depend on the current setting, metal and size. Ask for the current catalogue or discuss a custom setting before calculating the complete order.
Keeping the diamond loose avoids the cost of a setting. If you want jewellery, compare compatible designs and metals rather than assuming one style is always the least expensive.
Metal
Metal choice affects both appearance and price. Current availability and the complete jewellery price are confirmed for the selected setting.
Compare the current metal options for the particular setting, as availability and pricing vary by design.
Choose the right company
Compare providers using the complete specification, documents, service, jewellery and current total rather than a headline starting price.
Ask the UK team which payment methods or staged-payment arrangements are currently available before placing an order.
If you would like to compare an option not shown in the table, ask the UK team for the current diamond, jewellery and optional-service total.
