From Ashes or Hair to Diamond – How Memorial Diamonds are created

In our own ALGORDANZA production in Switzerland blue, synthetic Memorial Diamonds with the same physical and chemical features as natural diamonds are created.

From at least 500g of cremated remains or 5g of hair we extract the remaining Carbon, which we then turn in Graphite and afterwards transform to a Memorial Diamond. To do so we have to simulate the extreme pressure and the high temperatures, which are also necessary for the natural transformation of diamonds over thousands of years inside the earth's crust.
