How Do We Make Diamonds from Ashes?
1. Ashes and Hair Refinement Process
Carbon Extraction
-
Depending on the desired color of the cremation diamond, different refinement processes are applied. For instance, traces of nitrogen or boron can produce yellow or blue tints, respectively. When ashes are thoroughly purified to an impressive 99.99% carbon content, the outcome is a colorless memorial diamond, radiating an unparalleled aura of purity.
The carbon content in everyone’s hair or ashes is different, so the results are unique for each.
2. HPHT Growth Process
-
The interior of the press is heated to over 2000°F, melting a catalyst metal. The molten catalyst metal dissolves the highly purified carbon source and the carbon gradually becomes crystallized. A cremation diamond is born and starts to grow like a shining star.
Diamond Crystallization
3. Diamond Polishing Process
-
Next, the diamond’s main facets are smoothed, also known as polishing. Last, the final facets are polished onto the diamond. The facets added are the stars, top and bottom halves also known as upper and lower girdle facets. This process has largely stayed the same for hundreds of years. However, our artisans use the latest tools to ensure precision work.

Ash Diamond 4C’s
Here we explain the “4C’s” standard – color, cut, clarity, and carat weight – which are the most important principles to consider when ordering a diamond.
In 1953 the 4C’s became the international standard for diamond grading. As created by the Gemological Institute of America, the diamond standard was established as a universal system for grading a diamond’s quality and its value, helping customers compare diamonds of different prices.
Memorial cremation diamonds are genuine diamonds. They can also be graded under the authentic 4C’s standards. Nevertheless, there is still more to learn about what’s special about making diamonds out of cremation ashes and the 4C’s.
Ash Diamond 4C’s - Color
The natural color of memorial cremation diamonds is yellow. This is due to the presence of other elements such as nitrogen inside the human body and occurs in any process making diamonds out of cremation ashes.
A natural yellow diamond can be priced at 3 to 5 times that of a colorless diamond. Conversely, a colorless memorial diamond is more costly than a yellow memorial diamond because it takes a lot of additional work purifying and removing elements such as nitrogen or boron.
Because it is affected by the individual elements inside each ordered diamond, the color of every EverDear diamond is unique. When making diamonds out of cremation ashes, these colors fall mostly between “Fancy Light” and “Fancy Vivid”.
EverDear does not add any additional elements during the production process, which makes your diamonds more natural and completely unique.
Ash Diamond 4C’s - Clarity
Clarity measures the tiny inclusions found in diamonds, such as carbon needles, clouds, pinpoints, and knots.
When making diamonds out of cremation ashes and hair, natural substances and elements may also exist in the final cremation diamond.
Most EverDear memorial diamonds are “VS” or “VVS” grade (Very, Very Slightly Included). This means no internal inclusions can be seen without the help of a magnification lens. When turning ashes into memorial diamonds of larger sizes, these may have slightly more inclusions than the standard sizes.
Ash Diamond 4C’s - Cut
The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance and sparkle.
The “round brilliant” cut with 58 facets is the most dazzling shape among all diamond cuts. This cut also retains a maximum size of the memorial diamond.
That’s why the round brilliant cut is recommended by our experts as the final cut when making cremation diamonds out of ashes.
Ash Diamond 4C’s - Carat Size
Diamond size is measured in carat. One carat is further divided into 100 points.
As size increases, the price of a diamond increases sharply. A 1 carat diamond has 3 to 5 times the value of a half-carat diamond in today’s market.
Different from on-stock mined diamonds, the exact size of a memorial diamond cannot be pre-determined. The given creation time frame dictates a size range, but the final size may vary individually. This is the reason, when we turn ashes into cremation diamonds, we price them according to carat range rather than exact size.
Personalized Remembrance
As a personal and heartfelt farewell and reunion, cremation diamonds keep your loved one close by. The decision to turn your beloved one's ashes into cremation diamonds or to turn their ashes into cremation jewelry, such as turning ashes into rings and pendants, is the best commemoration possible. It allows the family, or couple, to stay together forever. Cremation diamonds are a touching symbol of love, loyalty, and remembrance.

Homepage FAQ
A cremation diamond is a real, certified diamond grown using the carbon from the cremation ashes or hair of your loved one or pet. It's a personal and lasting way to keep their memory close. Unlike traditional memorial jewelry that simply holds ashes inside a compartment, a cremation diamond is structurally and chemically a real diamond, created from the person or pet you love.
It's a process that mirrors how diamonds form in nature. We start by extracting and purifying the carbon from the ashes or hair you send us. Then, using advanced High-Pressure/High-Temperature (HPHT) technology, we place that carbon into a specially designed environment that simulates the conditions deep within the Earth's mantle. Over time, carbon crystallizes and grows into a real, one-of-a-kind diamond.
From the very beginning, we made a commitment to never be a company that depends on outsourcing the process or buying machines from third-party suppliers. That's why we developed state-of-the-art technology to design, build, and continuously improve our own diamond-growing machines in-house. This level of control over every stage of the process is what allows us to offer diamonds up to 6.29 carats after polishing, in 7 different colors, and at a lower cost than you might expect. It's a combination of serious science and genuine love for what we do.
Yes. Our cremation diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds. Same crystal structure, same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), same brilliance. The only difference is the carbon source: your loved one's ashes or hair.
HPHT-created diamonds are recognized as real diamonds by gemological authorities like the International Gemological Institute (IGI).
Yes. Aquamation ashes contain the same carbon and mineral composition as traditional cremation ashes, which means they work just as well for diamond creation. The carbon is extracted, purified, and placed under high pressure and high temperature to replicate the conditions that form diamonds naturally beneath the Earth's surface.
At EverDear, all diamond colors and cut options are available, whether the ashes come from aquamation or flame cremation. There is no difference in the quality, structure, or appearance of the finished diamond.
Yes. We can create a memorial diamond from hair, cremation ashes, or a combination of both. Hair is naturally rich in carbon, which makes it a great source for diamond creation. It's also a popular option for honoring a living loved one, such as a parent, partner, or child, or for preserving the memory of someone whose hair was saved before they passed. Only about 2 grams (a small lock) of hair is needed.
We’re a proud US company based in sunny Southern California. Our head office and lab are located at 28516 Constellation Rd, Valencia, CA 91355, United States. We serve families across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil, and over 50 countries worldwide.
You're always welcome to visit us in person. Come see our lab, meet the team, and even view our diamond-growing machines up close. Just reach out to schedule a visit, and we'll be happy to have you.
We offer one of the most comprehensive selections in the memorial diamond industry:
- Carat Weight: 0.1 to 6.29 carats, with transparent pricing at every tier. Looking for something larger than 6.29 carats? Contact us and our scientists will provide a direct quotation tailored to your request.
- 7 Colors: Colorless, Yellow, Green, Red, Black, Pink, and Blue.
- 12 Cuts: Round Brilliant, Emerald, Cushion, Heart, Oval, Radiant, Pear, Princess, Asscher, Marquise, Trillion, Hexagon, and Cat/Dog shaped.
This range is a direct result of years of investment in proprietary growth and cutting technology.
Yes. You choose a color family (blue, yellow, green, etc.) and we grow your diamond within that range. However, since the trace elements in every person's ashes are unique, meaning nitrogen, boron, and other organic compounds vary from person to person, the exact shade will be subtly one-of-a-kind.
This is your loved one's individual chemical signature, naturally expressed inside the stone. No two cremation diamonds are ever exactly alike. You will also get a chemical analysis report on the in-house certificate of your diamond.
Of course. We offer a collection of jewelry settings, including rings, pendants, lockets, earrings, and bracelets. Settings are crafted from 14K or 18K gold (Yellow, White, or Rose) and platinum.
If you have a specific design in mind, our team can also work with you to create a custom piece.
Jewelry settings are priced separately from the diamond, so you have full flexibility to choose what suits you.
Our prices start at $995 for a colorless cremation diamond in the 0.10 to 0.19 carat range. The final cost depends on the size, color, and cut you choose. Because EverDear designs and builds its own HPHT machines and handles every production stage in-house, pricing stays consistently lower than most in the memorial diamond industry without compromising quality.
You can place your order online or contact our team to discuss your options and address any questions you may have. Once you're ready, we'll send you a Welcome Kit with secure containers, step-by-step instructions, and everything you need to send us the ashes or hair safely. We only need about 100 grams (roughly 2/3 cup) of ashes or 2 grams (a small lock) of hair.
On average, the entire process takes about 7 to 11 months from the time we receive the ashes or hair. Diamond growth can't be rushed without affecting quality, so the timeline reflects what's needed to produce a stone with proper clarity and structure. We'll keep you updated at key stages, so you always know where things stand.
If you have a special occasion or timeline in mind, let us know. Our lab team can walk you through different possibilities and offer a customized priority process.
We understand how important this is, and we take it very seriously. From the moment you place your order, you're assigned a unique order ID. This ID follows your loved one's remains through every stage of the journey, starting even before we receive the ashes or hair at our facility.
No two orders ever cross paths. Your carbon is worked on separately throughout the entire process, and all tools, equipment, and surfaces are thoroughly sterilized between orders. Our small team prioritizes these logistics above all else, because we know what this material means to you.
When your diamond is complete, you'll receive our Certificate of Authenticity, which includes a full chemical analysis of the carbon you provided as well as an affidavit confirming the diamond was created using that exact carbon.
Yes. EverDear serves families in over 50 countries worldwide. All shipments are insured and handled through trusted carriers. Our team provides guidance on how to send ashes or hair safely from your location.
