Below is the list of the required amounts of cremated remains (such as ashes or hair) for turning them into cremation diamonds.
Cremation ashes
8 tablespoons
Hair
½ cupThe required amount is ½ cup of hair or eight tablespoons of ashes. After your order is confirmed, we’ll provide a measuring spoon so that you can send us exactly the quantity needed for processing.
Once your order is confirmed, we will send you a submission kit containing all the materials needed to safely package and return your loved one’s hair or ashes. Please place the ashes or hair in the provided container and seal it, then pack that container securely inside the box.
Absolutely! We are happy to accept additional amounts of remains. You can also send us the entire cremated remains if you prefer—this option is known as a “Diamond Burial.” Please let us know in advance if you choose this, so we can provide sufficient containers and sealing tape to accommodate the full volume of ashes.
Certainly! We’re more than happy to find a solution that works best for your family. For larger families, we can also produce multiple diamonds. As the sole owner of your loved one’s remains, you have complete freedom to send only the amount you’re comfortable with for any personal reasons.
If the available remains are insufficient, other family members can provide the required amount of hair at no additional cost.
Our team of experts treats the remains with the utmost respect, processing and purifying them through each stage until they are transformed into diamonds. The necessary portion is used for the diamond creation, and any remaining carbon (as graphite powder) is safely stored at our facilities per our safety guidelines.
When we’re sure no additional material is required, we ceremoniously cremate the leftover carbon in a mini furnace. Due to our highly precise methods, we’re able to return the remaining carbon to you and your family if desired—please mention this when submitting your order.
1. Cremated bones refer to the larger fragments (over 20 mm) that remain after cremation is complete. These bone pieces typically contain less carbon than the finer ashes (which are generally 1–5 mm in size).
2. We can use carbon from various sources—for instance, 5 grams of hair combined with eight tablespoons of ashes.
3. The color, texture, or type of hair, including artificially dyed hair, has no impact on the color of the finished diamond. All pigments are eliminated during the carbon purification stage.
4. The quantities listed above are fixed requirements and do not vary based on the desired diamond size. The equipment used in the process demands a specific minimum amount of carbon to produce a diamond. The final size of the diamond is instead controlled by the duration of the synthesis process.
5. The quantities specified above are sufficient to produce up to three diamonds, depending on the sizes chosen.
The carbon content in cremated remains can differ from one individual to another. Since this transformation process is irreversible, we generally advise clients to send a little extra remains as a precaution or backup.
