The creation of a memorial diamond consists of extracting carbon from the cremation ashes or hair of a deceased person to create a real diamond. The resulting memorial diamond gives comfort and strength to the bereaved, who in this way can be close to their loved one after death.
The ALGORDANZA memorial diamond reflects the uniqueness of the deceased person and is always made individually according to your wishes.
First decide on the carbon source that forms the basis for your unique memorial diamond.
Now select the appropriate cut for your individual cremation diamond. Alternatively, you can keep the diamond rough (uncut), which will only be polished, a rough diamond reflects the uniqueness of the person it was grown from, both having developed their “rough edges”.
We only entrust your memorial diamond to the hand-crafted work of our experienced diamond cutting experts. The size and type of cut can vary slightly depending on the diamond.
The ALGORDANZA diamond shines with an extraordinary blue brilliance, due to the element boron, which is bound to carbon. The more boron the carbon source contains, the darker the blue coloration of the diamond. The exquisite, individual color makes the memorial diamond something very special and at the same time is a further expression of its uniqueness.

ALGORDANZA Memorial Diamonds are offered through funeral homes as well as directly through us. Upon request, we can send you our complete pricelist.
With our certificate, we confirm the authenticity, size, cut and color of the diamond, but also guarantee that the origin of the carbon is from the cremation ashes or hair given to us.
ALGORDANZA also supplies you with your personal memorial diamond in a pristine oak or walnut display box along with the ALGORDANZA certificate.
If you have decided on a rough diamond, a laser engraving on the girdle is possible upon request. This laser engraving is only visible under a microscope with 30x magnification and gives your memorial diamond an even more personal touch. Depending on the size of the diamond, a maximum of 30 characters is possible, similar to the inscription on a tombstone such as a quote or words of remembrance.
Setting a memorial diamond into a pendant to wear close to one’s heart is often done with rough diamonds, as the rough shape of the diamond contrasts with the modern forms of today’s pendant designs. Setting a cremation diamond into a new or even existing ring has been done hundreds of times and lets the wearer take their lost loved one to places they couldn’t before they passed away.
The combination of a memorial diamond with jewelry can have a great reflection on the personality of the deceased. The memorial diamond itself however is the most individual and unique impression of the deceased, which is why we deliberately forgo offering an ALGORDANZA jewelry collection.
If you would like to have your memorial diamond realized as a diamond ring or pendant for a necklace, please contact your trusted goldsmith.
After the death of a loved one, the bereaved are often faced with many decisions that need to be made quickly. In addition to cremation or burial, a memorial diamond is also an option to consider. It is no more difficult to organize than any other form of burial and also leaves something everlasting.
Creating a memorial diamond from the ashes or hair of a deceased person, usually takes between four and eight months. This time is needed for the diamond to grow to the desired size. Meanwhile, we are in regular contact with your or your undertaker, who will keep you informed of our every step.
Our funeral partners are known for their empathetic and competent care in the case of a death. Contact us and we will recommend an ALGORDANZA funeral partner in your area, without obligation, who will carry out the desired memorial diamond for you or your relatives.
If there is no funeral home with an existing partnership to ALGORDANZA in your area, we will send you all the necessary documents so that your trusted funeral director can initiate the creation of a memorial diamond through ALGORDANZA even without a prior partnership.
When an adult is cremated, up to 4 kg of ashes can be produced. To create a memorial diamond, however, it is not the volume of the ash that is decisive, but its carbon content. As a rule, 5 grams of hair or 500 grams of ashes are sufficient to ensure the creation of an ALGORDANZA Cremation Diamond.
If you choose an ALGORDANZA Pure ash diamond, you decide what happens to the remaining ashes:
The handing over of the memorial diamond to the relatives takes place in a solemn setting by the commissioned funeral home, alternatively the ash diamond can be picked up at our headquarters in Domat/Ems.
As part of an ALGORDANZA Pre-Paid Funeral Plan, you can arrange your personal memorial diamond in advance for yourself or a family member
