A diamond that takes millions of years in nature can be produced
in just a few months.
Created Individually For You
The process of making high quality created diamonds has been around for many years. Lifegem diamonds are created by placing carbon, the primary element of all diamonds, in conditions that recreate the forces of nature. The LifeGem process differs by using an exact carbon source to create a beautiful and meaningful diamond for you and your family. In summary, here is how your LifeGem diamond is created...
Carbon Capture - After extensive research and
development, Lifegem scientists have discovered how to extract the
carbon from the ashes or hair of a loved one. This process
needs a portion of the ashes (250g or 1 cup) or hair.
Purification - Once captured, this carbon is heated
to extremely high temperatures under special conditions.This process
converts carbon in the hair or ashes to graphite with unique characteristics
and elements that will create your one-of-a-kind LifeGem.
Creation - To create your LifeGem, this
graphite is placed in one of our unique diamond presses, which replicate
the awesome forces deep within the earth - heat and pressure. The
more time in the press, the larger the rough diamond crystal that
results.
Certification - Finally, our skilled diamond cutters facet your LifeGem diamond(s) according to your wishes, laser etch your unique identifier on the girdle, and certify it for authenticity. All LifeGem diamonds are individually inspected, graded, and identified by world-renowned gemologists trained by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The world’s finest jewellers use this same certification process.
A diamond that takes millions of years to occur naturally can now
be created as an individual and highly personal momento. The size
of the diamond can vary and the colour depends on the chosen process.
LifeGem diamonds are available in yellow, red, green, blue and translucent.
Man-made diamonds are not a new invention, they were first created
for industrial use by General Electric in the 1950s. In the
late 1990s LifeGem invented a process for extracting the carbon
from cremated remains and creating LifeGem diamonds. Since
then many people have chosen LifeGem to commemorate very special
bonds.
