A diamond that takes millions of years in nature can be produced up to 12 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 cremated remains of a loved one. This process begins with a portion of the ashes(250g or 1 cup) from previously cremated remains.
Purification - Once captured, this carbon is heated to extremely high temperatures under special conditions. While removing the existing ash, this process converts your loved one’s carbon to graphite with unique characteristics and elements that will create your one-of-a-kind LifeGem diamond like no other in this world.
Creation - To create your LifeGem, we place this graphite 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 from the carbon of your loved one usually in less than 12 months. 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 memorialize their loved one in a unique and thoughtful way.
