A memorial diamond is a real, certified diamond grown in a laboratory using carbon extracted from a small amount of your loved one’s ashes or hair, rather than being mined from the earth. The process uses the same High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) technology that recreates the natural conditions deep underground where diamonds form, just accelerated to take months rather than millions of years.
Most UK providers need somewhere between 200 grams and half a pound of ashes, or a small lock of hair, to extract enough carbon for the process. The finished diamond typically takes three to nine months to grow, cut and polish, depending on the size and colour chosen. Diamonds made this way often come out in shades of yellow, blue or amber, a natural result of trace elements like boron and nitrogen present in human remains, though some providers offer additional colour options.
Below you’ll find UK companies offering this service, each managing the process from collection through to a finished, certified stone that can be worn as a ring, pendant or earring, or simply kept as a keepsake.
How much ash or hair is needed? Most providers ask for around 200 grams of ashes, or a small amount of hair (as little as 5 to 10 grams), since hair contains a higher concentration of carbon by weight.
How long does the process take? Typically three to nine months from start to finish, depending on the size and colour of diamond chosen.
How much does a memorial diamond cost? Prices vary considerably by size and colour, generally starting from around £500 for a small stone and rising well into the thousands for larger or rarer colours.
Is it a real diamond? Yes. Memorial diamonds have the same chemical, physical and optical properties as natural diamonds, and most providers offer independent gemological certification.
Can more than one diamond be made from one person’s ashes? Often, yes, providers can typically create multiple smaller diamonds from a single portion of ashes, allowing more than one family member to hold a keepsake.
