Our Order Process: How to Arrange Your Memorial Diamond
Deciding to honor a loved one through a memorial diamond is a deeply personal choice. While the scientific transformation is complex, the steps to initiate and plan your memorial diamond are designed to be straightforward, transparent, and fully supported.
Below is the step-by-step framework for how the order and creation journey unfolds:
Stage 1 – Connect with Guidance and Partners
Families face many choices after a passing, including deciding between traditional burial or a diamond tribute. Guidance teams and partner networks help coordinate logistics, whether working directly with local funeral homes or assisting families over the phone, online, or through a consultation.
Stage 2 – Select Your Diamond Specifications
Choose your preferred carbon source (cremated remains, hair, or a combination). Decide on your desired carat size and choose whether you want a polished rough stone or a precision-hand-cut diamond (such as brilliant, emerald, asscher, princess, radiant, or heart shapes).
Stage 3 – Complete Documentation & Orders
Fill out the necessary order forms to establish your preferences, tracking codes, and specifications. Transparent pricing structures and flexible deposit options or payment plans are typically established during this phase.
Stage 4 – Securely Ship the Cremated Remains
Via Funeral Home: Coordinate closely with your funeral director, who can arrange secure shipping of the required sample directly to the laboratory facility.
Individual Submissions: If managing independently, secure shipping kits ensure that at least 1 pound (approx. 500g) of cremated remains or 10 grams of hair are shipped safely via priority courier.
Stage 5 – Laboratory Transformation & Updates
Once received, the sample is assigned a unique reference audit code. Throughout the multi-month high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) synthesis process, families receive periodic updates as the carbon is isolated, converted to graphite, and grown into a certified diamond.
Stage 6 – Certification, Casket, and Delivery
Upon completion, the finished diamond undergoes laser inscription for traceability and is secured inside a presentation diamond casket alongside an official certificate of authenticity. The stone is then safely delivered to the family.
Transitioning to Custom Jewelry Settings
While the educational process concludes with the delivery of your certified stone, bringing a memorial diamond to life as a wearable heirloom requires specialized craftsmanship. When you are ready to design a custom ring, pendant, or keepsake mounting, we proudly recommend connecting with expert creators like BlueIce Gems, who specialize in treating treasured memorial stones with exquisite care and precision.
