Step Two
02
A remarkable transformation

Once the ashes or hair arrive at our lab, a lab tech transfers them from the jar they came in to a graphite crucible. The crucible will go through a carbon purification process to extract the carbon from the other elements in the ashes. Learn more about how to turn ashes to diamonds.

Growing your loved one’s Diamond

Once we have extracted and purified the carbon from the remains, it is placed inside a machine that mimics the pressure and heat conditions under the earth’s crust. Something we love about this process is that each individual’s carbon content is different, so everyone requires a different combination of pressure and heat to become a Diamond. That means every Diamond we produce is as unique as the individual it’s made from.

What materials can I use to make my Diamond?
