Naturally Amber™
Amber diamonds serve as the fundamental colour choice for all memorial diamonds. These are grown through a standard creation process without additional microelements or specialised treatments. Due to minimal production costs and time, amber memorial diamonds are highly favored. Opt for the amber colour if you prefer the diamond to retain its natural hue. The amber shade naturally arises from the nitrogen (N) inherent in the carbon found in human cremation ashes.

Greenish Yellow
The greenish yellow memorial diamond needs an additional HPHT treatment cycle to modify the crystal-structure and colour-centres of the diamond. As a result, the greenish yellow colour takes longer to process and has a relatively higher price.

Red
Red memorial diamonds develop their fiery colour through further processing of amber diamonds. By applying the light of high-energy electrons with an electronic emitter, nitrogen-vacancy colour centers will form inside the diamond giving the diamond its red colour.

Similar to red equivalents, pink memorial diamonds receive their subtle, lovely colour through further processing of amber diamond. By applying the light of high-energy electrons with an electronic emitter in special temperture, nitrogen-vacancy colour centres will form inside the diamond giving the diamond its pink colour.

Purely Colourless™
The colourless memorial diamond boasts the highest purity (4N purity - 99.99%) of carbon, completely devoid of other elements or impurities. Additionally, the production process is the most intricate to achieve a perfectly colourless diamond, resulting in the highest cost (up to A$ 58,000) and the lengthiest growth period.

Blue
The blue memorial diamond looks regal and peaceful. LONITE has advanced technology to determine the atom density inside memorial diamonds. Therefore, the colour of LONITE blue diamonds is very stable. The crystal growth is faster and easier with boron (B) atoms inside the carbon, which makes the growing speed quicker and the cost lower compared to colourless memorial diamonds.

Breakdown: Cost of Transforming Ashes to Diamonds
The price to convert ashes into diamonds includes the purification of ashes, diamond creation, polishing, and shipping
Affordable Memorial Diamond Prices in Different Countries
Explore the Cost of Transforming Ashes into Diamonds
The journey of transforming ashes into diamonds begins at A$ 3200. LONITÉ's memorial diamond costs are tailored to the type and size of the chosen memorial diamond. The prices presented here are in the currency of your selected country.
The comprehensive cost of turning ashes into diamonds covers all facets, including all associated expenses, covering shipping and delivery costs from sending your loved one's ashes to Switzerland to the eventual return of the diamond.
How much does it cost to transform ashes into diamonds? In Australia, the starting cost for memorial diamonds is A$ 3200. Our U.K. branch offers this service from £1,400. For the U.S., the journey begins at $1,400. In Germany, the transformation starts at 2,000€. Meanwhile, the price for creating memorial diamonds in Canada begins at C$2,200.
Price Factor I - Memorial Diamonds Cost
Carbon Purification
The cost of carbon purification remains constant, regardless of the size of the memorial diamond.
For a 4N purity (99.99%), carbon purification is an intricate procedure essential for creating flawless diamonds of various colours. Our specialists at LONITÉ undertake this meticulous manual process with utmost care and respect, averaging 5,000 minutes per diamond.
At LONITÉ, carbon purification is 25 times more rigorous than the process employed by other 'memorial diamonds' which utilize a blend of pre-purified industrial graphite. This graphite addition dilutes impurities, saving on time and expenses.
Price Factor III - Memorial Diamonds Cost
No Hidden Mark-ups
Unlike many companies that operate through intricate regional distributor networks, each layer adding its own profit margin, LONITÉ takes a direct approach. This means that where you enter the process does not influence the cost of transforming ashes into diamonds.
LONITÉ eliminates intermediaries, ensuring that you pay solely for quality, unburdened by distribution mark-ups ranging from 35% to 45%. The cost of turning ashes into diamonds should accurately mirror the diamond's quality and size, rather than the intricacies of distribution.
LONITÉ maintains transparency in its memorial diamond prices. There are no hidden charges or ambiguities. With LONITÉ, you won't encounter vague "Price on application" scenarios or unexpected shifts in the cost of converting ashes into diamonds.
Price Factor II - Memorial Diamonds Cost
Diamond Creation
The cost of creating LONITÉ memorial diamonds is closely tied to growing time, which spans across months, not hours. Larger diamonds necessitate extended periods within the synthesis environment, consequently leading to higher costs. The cost of transforming ashes into diamonds surpassing 0.5 carats escalates significantly due to this fundamental reason.
A diamond seed serves as a nucleus for carbon atoms sourced from ashes or hair, enabling crystallisation. In pursuit of the ultimate splendor for your memorial diamond, LONITÉ exclusively employs natural diamonds from the top 0.1% tier. These diamonds are utilised as 'seeds'. We strictly avoid using CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamonds, which are less expensive for a rationale. Although this might reduce the cost of converting ashes into diamonds, it doesn't align with our philosophy of crafting each memorial diamond as though it were for our own cherished ones.
The Cost to Turn Human Hair and Ashes into Memorial Diamonds
SPECIAL NOTES:
1. For memorial diamond sizes above 3.0 carats, please contact us directly for a personal quote.
3. Rough diamonds (unpolished) are available for size 0.35 carat or above with a 20% discount. However, the rough diamond should NOT be cut at any time after it is delivered because inexperienced diamond cutters without specialised cutting skills are very likely to break the diamond.
4. Brilliance of the cut options: Brilliant > Princess > Radiant > Asscher > Emerald. Requesting a specific cutting shape other than brilliant is subject to an additional fee.
5. The images displayed on the website are for reference only. The actual size and colour depth of your memorial diamond may vary.
2. Memorial diamonds below 0.25 carat still have to undergo the same purification process as diamonds of larger sizes, which is equally time-consuming and costly. Currently, we are not offering the purchase of one single diamond below 0.25 carat. However, if you need a 0.10 carat diamond in addition to a 0.25 carat diamond, for the style of ring or to share with family members, for example, please contact us directly for a personal quote.
Memorial Diamonds Cost: Further Breakdown
Our Memorial Diamonds Transformation Services: An All-Inclusive Cost
When you choose LONITÉ to turn ashes into diamonds, our cost covers all essential services within the ashes-to-diamond process. This comprehensive package encompasses carbon purification, the creation of the memorial diamond, meticulous cutting and polishing, an origin certification, secure sealing containers, careful packing, and global shipping.
We maintain complete transparency; there are no concealed charges. Any extra fees will pertain exclusively to local taxes and optional third-party services, like authenticity certification offered by the International Gemological Institute or the Gemological Institute of America.
Memorial Jewellery Pricing and Options
The cost of memorial diamonds doesn't cover the jewellery setting. The price of the jewellery piece is influenced by factors like the diamond shape, metal type, and weight. Our jewellery prices encompass all mounting and shipping expenses. You have the freedom to select from our array of memorial ring and pendant designs, or even propose your unique concept for a personalised memorial jewellery creation.
Colors vs. Cost
An array of memorial diamond colours is achieved in varied synthesis environments with different purification and preparation procedures.
Amber is the most natural colour and undergoes a standard process requiring the lowest cost (from A$ 3200 / 0.25ct). In comparison, colourless memorial diamonds require the highest standard of purification using the most advanced technology.
The successful memorial of a Purely Colourless™ diamond is an achievement of a prolonged and much more intricate carbon purification and refinement process. Therefore, Purely Colourless™ memorial diamonds are the most expensive (up to A$ 58000 / 3.0ct).
Cost Comparison: Natural Diamond Prices vs. Memorial Diamond Prices
Understanding Memorial Diamond Colours and Pricing
Colourless natural diamonds are more abundant and consequently less expensive than naturally coloured diamonds. However, this dynamic reverses when it comes to memorial diamonds.
Colourless memorial diamonds are notably more expensive than their natural colourless counterparts. Memorial diamonds in amber or blue tend to be priced lower or equivalently to natural yellow diamonds.
Affordable Memorial Diamond Pricing
The cost of transforming human or pet ashes into exquisite diamonds is substantial due to the intricate nature of the entire process.
Our commitment is to provide families with the most competitive price achievable. This is why you interact directly with LONITÉ, eliminating any additional mark-up through intermediaries.
