How is a LifeGem Created?
High-quality created diamonds have been present for
many years. These
diamonds are created by placing carbon, the primary element of all
diamonds, in conditions that recreate the forces of earth.
We are merely choosing an exact carbon source to create a beautiful
and meaningful memorial for you and your family.
In summary, here is how we create your LifeGem...
Step 1. Collection
We have discovered how to capture the carbon by extracting it from existing cremated remains.
This step takes place at one of our many certified locations across the country. Please call us, or click

on
locations, to find the one nearest you. Step 2. Purification
Once captured, this carbon is heated to extremely high temperatures under special conditions.
During this phase, the carbon in the ashes coalesces with the
natural carbon used in the diamond growth process, allowing the
carbon from the deceased to be removed intact from the provided ash
remains. While removing the existing ash, this process converts the carbon to graphite with unique characteristics and elements that will create a one-of-a-kind LifeGem diamond like no other in this world.

Step 3. Creation
To create your LifeGem,
we now place this graphite in one of our
unique diamond presses replicating
the awesome forces of nature -
heat and pressure. The longer
the press time, the larger the rough
diamond crystal that results.
Step 4. Certification
Finally, our
skilled diamond cutters facet your
LifeGem diamond(s) according to your wishes, laser etch the girdle, and
certify it for authenticity.
A diamond that takes millions of years to occur
naturally can now be created from the carbon of
your loved one in about eighteen weeks.
