Preserve Love in a Diamond That Lasts Forever
Transform your cherished memories into a genuine, certified diamond – a timeless tribute that keeps your loved one close to your heart. At Labrilliante, we create authentic memorial diamonds from ashes or hair using advanced laboratory technology, offering you a beautiful way to honor those who matter most.
What Are Cremation Diamonds?
Cremation diamonds, also known as memorial diamonds, are genuine diamonds created from the carbon extracted from cremated ashes or hair. These aren't synthetic imitations – they're real diamonds with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as naturally mined diamonds, certified by leading gemological institutes.
At Labrilliante, we use the High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) method to recreate the natural diamond formation process. By extracting carbon from your loved one's remains and subjecting it to extreme pressure and temperature, we grow a unique diamond that serves as an eternal memorial. Each diamond is as individual as the person it commemorates, carrying their essence in a form that can be treasured for generations.
The emotional significance of memorial diamonds goes beyond their physical beauty. They offer a tangible connection to those we've lost, providing comfort during grief and creating a legacy that can be passed down through families. Unlike traditional memorials, cremation diamonds are portable, personal, and profoundly meaningful.
Your Journey to Creating a Memorial Diamond
Creating a memorial diamond with Labrilliante is a carefully guided process that transforms your loved one's ashes into an eternal tribute. Here's how we help you through each step of this meaningful journey:
Step 1: Receive Your Welcome Kit
Once you contact us, we'll send you a complimentary memorial planning kit that includes:
- Secure collection container for ashes or hair
- Detailed instructions and documentation
- Prepaid shipping materials with tracking
- Memorial planning guide
- Direct contact with your dedicated memorial specialist
Step 2: Send Your Precious Materials
You'll need only 200 grams (7 oz) of cremated ashes or 5 grams of hair. Our secure chain of custody ensures your loved one's remains are handled with the utmost respect and care. Every shipment is tracked, insured, and personally acknowledged upon arrival at our laboratory.
Step 3: Carbon Extraction
Our certified technicians carefully extract carbon from the ashes through a proprietary purification process. This carbon becomes the foundation of your memorial diamond. Any unused ashes are respectfully returned to you upon request.
Step 4: Diamond Growth (HPHT Method)
Using the High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) process, we recreate the natural conditions that form diamonds deep within the Earth:
- Temperature: Over 2,000°F (1,100°C)
- Pressure: 60,000 atmospheres
- Duration: 6-12 weeks depending on desired size
- Result: A genuine, unique diamond crystal
Step 5: Cut, Polish & Certification
Master craftsmen cut and polish your diamond to perfection, enhancing its brilliance and fire. Each diamond is then independently certified by IGI or GIA, confirming its authenticity and specifications.
Step 6: Delivery with Your Memorial Package
Your completed memorial includes:
- Your certified diamond in chosen setting
- Official gemological certificate
- Personalized memorial storybook at request
- Care and maintenance guide
Timeline: The complete process typically takes 7-11 months, though expedited options are available for those who need their memorial sooner.

A Memorial That Matters: Why Families Choose Cremation Diamonds
When facing the loss of a loved one, choosing the right memorial is deeply personal. Here's why thousands of families have entrusted Labrilliante to create their eternal tributes through cremation diamonds.
A Unique Personal Connection
Unlike traditional memorials, a cremation diamond is created from your loved one's actual carbon – it's not just a symbol, but a physical continuation of their presence. This profound connection provides comfort that no other memorial can match. Many clients tell us that wearing their memorial diamond helps them feel their loved one's presence during important life moments, from weddings to graduations to quiet everyday moments.
A Legacy for Generations
Traditional urns may deteriorate, burial plots can be lost to time, but diamonds are forever. Your memorial diamond becomes a family heirloom that can be passed down through generations, keeping your loved one's memory alive for centuries. Children and grandchildren who may never have met their ancestor can still carry a piece of them, creating an unbroken chain of remembrance.
Portable and Always Present
Life takes us many places – new homes, different cities, travel for work or pleasure. A cremation diamond moves with you, ensuring your loved one is always close. Whether set in a ring you wear daily or a pendant kept close to your heart, this memorial adapts to your life rather than anchoring you to a specific location.
Environmentally Conscious Choice
For those concerned about their ecological footprint, cremation diamonds offer a sustainable memorial option:
- No land use required unlike traditional burial
- Carbon-neutral creation process
- No harmful chemicals or preservatives
- Minimal environmental impact
- Supports the natural carbon cycle
Celebrating All Bonds of Love
At Labrilliante, we understand that love extends beyond human connections. We create memorial diamonds for beloved pets too, recognizing that the bond between humans and their animal companions deserves the same reverence and remembrance.
Therapeutic Value in Grief
"Creating a memorial diamond gave me something positive to focus on during the darkest time of my life. The process itself became part of my healing journey."
Many grief counselors recognize the therapeutic value of creating meaningful memorials. The anticipation of receiving your diamond and the ability to be involved in its creation can provide purpose and hope during the grieving process.

"A Piece of Mom I Can Always Keep Close" Sarah M., California
"When we lost Mom to cancer, I wanted something more personal than an urn. The Labrilliante team guided me through every step with incredible compassion. Now I wear her diamond every day – it catches the light just like her smile used to. My daughter will wear this one day, and Mom's love will continue."
"Beyond Our Expectations" James & Patricia L., New York

It's not just a diamond; it's our Christopher, transformed into something eternal. The quality exceeded anything we imagined."
"Helped Our Whole Family Heal" The Rodriguez Family, Texas

The video updates during the growing process made us feel connected to Dad throughout the journey. Labrilliante treated us like family, not customers."
"Even Our Beloved Pet Became a Diamond" Michael K., Florida
"When people said we were crazy for making a diamond from our dog Max's ashes, I didn't care. He was family for 15 years. Labrilliante never made us feel silly – they understood. Now Max is always with me, and yes, it's a real, certified diamond. No regrets."

Absolutely! Hair is an excellent source of carbon for creating memorial diamonds. We need approximately 5 grams of hair (about a palm-sized amount). This option is particularly meaningful for:
- Creating memorials before passing (living memorials)
- Situations where cremation wasn't chosen
- Combining hair from multiple family members
- Pet memorials when cremation wasn't performed
Our memorial diamonds start at $1,375 for a 0.25-carat diamond, with prices increasing based on size and specifications. Every quote includes all costs – there are no hidden fees.
Yes, absolutely. Memorial diamonds created by Labrilliante are genuine diamonds with identical physical, chemical, and optical properties to naturally mined diamonds. They are certified by independent gemological institutes (GIA or IGI) and will test as real diamonds because they ARE real diamonds. The only difference is their origin – your loved one provides the carbon instead of the earth.
Very safe. We provide a secure collection kit with:
- Tamper-proof containers
- Tracked and insured shipping through FedEx/UPS
- Chain of custody documentation
- Personal acknowledgment upon receipt
In our many years of operation, we've never lost a shipment. Additionally, we only need 200 grams of ashes (about 1 cup), so you can keep the remainder for other memorials if desired.
We maintain strict chain of custody protocols:
- Unique ID number assigned to your loved one's remains
- Individual processing (never mixed with others)
- Video documentation available upon request
- Certificate of authenticity linking diamond to source
Yes! Many families choose to create several diamonds to share among children or grandchildren. From 200 grams of ashes, we can create:
- Up to 10 smaller diamonds (0.25 carat each)
- 3-5 medium diamonds (0.5 carat each)
- 1-2 larger diamonds (1+ carat)
Special family pricing is available for multiple diamonds.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. We offer:

If you're not completely satisfied, we'll work with you to make it right.
Yes, we create beautiful memorial diamonds for beloved pets using the same process and standards as human memorials. The carbon from your pet's ashes or fur creates an identical quality diamond. We understand that pets are family members deserving of the same loving tribute.
You need only 200 grams (about 1 cup) of cremated ashes to create a memorial diamond. This is roughly 8% of typical cremation remains, allowing you to keep the rest for other memorials or family members. For hair, we need just 5 grams – about a palm-sized amount.
While extremely rare (less than 0.1% of cases), if a diamond fails during growth or cutting, we start the process again at no additional cost to you. We always extract enough carbon to ensure we can create your memorial successfully. Our master craftsmen have a 99.9% success rate, and we guarantee you'll receive a perfect diamond.
Absolutely! We call these "Unity Diamonds," and they're increasingly popular for couples who want to be together forever, siblings honoring both parents, or families including beloved pets. The carbon molecules blend at the atomic level, creating a unique diamond that represents your united bond.
Interestingly, yes! Each person's carbon composition is unique, influenced by their diet, medications, and lifestyle. This can naturally result in different hues – from brilliant whites to subtle blues or warm champagne tones. We can also influence color through controlled processes if you have a preference, but many families treasure the natural color as another unique aspect of their loved one.
Hair is a perfect alternative that respects religious beliefs while creating the same genuine diamond. We can use hair collected during life, preserved locks from childhood, or hair saved from haircuts. Some families create "living diamonds" from hair while their loved one is still alive, making it a celebration of life rather than a memorial. This option is particularly meaningful for those whose faiths prohibit cremation.
