Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about authenticity, timing, and costs. For detailed guidance, visit our Concierge.

Are memorial diamonds from ashes real diamonds? +

Yes. Amoriale memorial diamonds are real diamonds grown in a lab using purified carbon from cremation ashes or hair. They have the same physical and optical properties as mined diamonds and are independently IGI certified.

How much does it cost to turn ashes into a diamond? +

The cost depends on the carat size and the diamond color you choose. Our pricing is meant to be clear and all-inclusive: collection kit, carbon purification, diamond growth, cutting, and inspection. Payment plans are available.

How much cremation ashes or hair do you need for a diamond? +

For a diamond from ashes, we usually request about ½ cup of cremation ashes. For a hair to diamond order, we typically need a small lock of hair. If you’re unsure what you have, we can guide you before you send anything.

How long does it take to make a cremation diamond? +

Most orders take about 3 to 6 months from receiving your material through diamond growth, cutting, and final inspection. Timelines vary by size and specs, and we keep you updated during the process.

Can you make a diamond from pet ashes or fur? +

Yes. We create pet memorial diamonds from dog ashes, cat ashes, and other pet remains. The process and care are the same as human memorial diamonds.
