The Mystery and Science Behind Personal Created Diamonds

It’s an amazing and indeed an interesting process to learn how the simple structure of a carbon atom can be metamorphosed into a beautiful, genuine diamond. What's more fascinating is how you can use the carbon signature from a lock of hair or small amount of cremated ashes and create a stunning lab created diamond!

These personal man made diamonds can be created to be set into cremation jewelry to memorialize a loved one or pet or as a commemorative diamond to celebrate an anniversary, engagement, birth of a child or other special occasion.

Created diamonds are genuine, certified diamonds that are created in a laboratory within a matter of weeks by replicating the extreme temperature and pressure that occur over millions of years deep under the earth’s crust. These lab diamonds possess the identical chemical, optical, and physical properties of earth-mined diamonds.

Personal created diamonds are in essence, enhanced lab diamonds, because they include a personal carbon source to grow the diamond, a lock of hair or small amount of cremated ashes. To create a personal created diamond, the process begins by collecting the hair or the cremated remains. The carbon signature from the hair or ashes is then added to a real diamond seed, and the mixture is placed in a custom-designed incubator.

The incubator uses a unique and complex High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) process to duplicate the earth’s natural diamond-growing conditions. Temperatures exceed 2000°C and pressure is greater than 60,000 atmospheres.

In 70 days or less, the growth phase is completed and a genuine diamond in-the-rough results. A master gem cutter will cut and polish the diamond in accordance with industry standards.

The created diamond then be individually identified with a laser-engraved ID number on the girdle of the diamond which is visible only under x20 magnification. The personal, man made diamond is then independently authenticated, inspected, measured and graded. The created diamond is then set into the jewelry chosen by the customer and delivered complete with the original certification and Certificate of Authenticity.
