In principle, one or more diamonds can be transformed from the cremation ashes of one deceased person. As basic material for the actual synthesis for one or more diamonds, a quantity of 500g of ashes is needed. The client can otherwise utilize the portion of the remains which are not used for the transformation any way they see fit. If requested, all the cremation ashes will be used for the synthesis. They remain in the process until they are completely exhausted.
The transformation of the ashes will be carried out with utmost care and reverence. Every production step will be accurately documented.
In an unique preliminary proceeding, all inorganic substances (salts, oxides, etc.) will be chemically separated from the carbon. The actual transformation process, the conversion of graphite into a memorial diamond (both are pure carbon: one time in a hexagonal, the other time in an octagonal structure) is carried out under enormously high pressure and high temperature and requires a number of weeks, depending on the size (weight) of the stone.
