LifeGem created diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in every aspect -  brilliance, fire, luster, and hardness.  Like the rarest diamonds found in nature, our stunning, colored diamonds make a unique statement. The only difference is that natural diamonds are formed with an arbitrary carbon source, and we choose an exact carbon source to create a one-of-a-kind memorial to your loved one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a LifeGem?

A LifeGem is a certified, high quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique and wonderful life.

The LifeGem diamond is more than a memorial to visit on the weekends… it is a way to embrace your loved one's memory day by day.  The LifeGem is the most unique and timeless memorial available for creating a testimony to their unique life.

We hope and believe that your LifeGem memorial will offer comfort and support when and where you need it, and provide a lasting memory that endures just as a diamond does.  Forever.

Created Individually For You

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 nature.  The LifeGem^® process differs by using an exact carbon source to create a beautiful and meaningful diamond memorial for you and your family.

In summary, here is how we create your LifeGem diamond...

Step 1. Carbon Capture -   After extensive research and development, we have discovered how to extract the carbon from existing cremated remains.  This process begins with a portion of remains from any standard cremation.

Step 2. 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.

Step 3. Creation -    To create your LifeGem^®, we now 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.

Step 4. 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 jewelers 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 in about twenty-four weeks. (Blue LifeGem diamonds may take longer.)
