Can You Turn Ashes to Diamonds for Pets?
Yes, you can turn pet ashes to diamonds. Turning pet ashes into a diamond is one of the best ways of keeping them close to you after they’ve passed on. Although you can no longer stroke your four-legged friend or play games with them, a unique diamond made from the ash of your beloved pet will help you remember all the good times you shared together whenever you feel down.
How much does it cost to turn a pet's ashes into a diamond?
Turning ashes to diamonds for pets costs as little as £515. This price is based on a mini diamond of 0.03 - 0.09 carats in a brilliant cut and orange-yellow colour. The price depends on the colour, carat and cut of the diamond you choose, as well as the setting if you want to wear your pet’s ashes diamond as a piece of jewellery.
It costs around £70 - £200 to cremate a pet, depending on the size of the pet and the type of cremation. With this in mind, the complete process of having your pet cremated and turned into a diamond can be achieved for just £585.
To help make turning your pet’s ashes into a diamond more affordable, we also offer interest-free payment plans. Secure your custom diamond by putting down a 25% deposit when you order then pay off the remaining sum over several months without incurring any additional interest fees.
How do I turn my pet’s ashes into a diamond?
You can’t turn your pet’s ashes into a diamond yourself. But you can work together with a world-renowned manufacturer of unique laboratory-grown diamonds to turn your precious pet into a timeless keepsake.
The first step in transforming ashes to diamonds for pets is to decide how the diamond will look. You need to choose the diamond’s colour, cut and carat. At Heart In Diamond, we offer the following:
- Colours: orange-yellow, yellow-green, deep red, blue, white.
- Cuts: brilliant, princess, radiant.
- Carats: 0.03 - 0.09, 0.1 - 0.19, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2.
How you design your diamond is entirely up to you. Some people choose a subtle style that they’re comfortable wearing every day, while others choose a design which reflects what their pet looked like.
When you’ve designed your diamond, it’s time to send us the ashes. Regardless of the style of diamond you choose, you need to send us ⅔ cup of ashes for each diamond you desire.
When we receive your pet’s ashes, we extract the pure carbon using sophisticated tools in our lab. The carbon is then combined with a tiny diamond seed before intense heat and pressure are applied for several months.
After 70 - 120 days, the carbon transforms into a genuine rough diamond containing the essence of your pet. We cut and polish your diamond according to your specifications before carefully packaging it and delivering it straight to your door.
Private vs communal cremations
If you want to have your pet’s ashes turned to diamonds, it’s important you choose a private cremation over a communal cremation.
During private cremations, each animal is cremated individually, so you can be certain the ashes you receive are exclusively from your pet. However, during communal cremations, several animals are cremated together, so you can never be sure the ashes you receive in return are entirely from your pet.
Some crematoriums which offer communal cremations provide a partitioned service. In this scenario, each animal is cremated in its own section. If you want to keep the cost down while still being sure the ashes are entirely from your pet, this is a suitable alternative.
