Decisive Factors of Cremation Ashes into Diamonds Cost

The process to turn cremation ashes into diamonds consists of purifying the ashes, generating, cutting and polishing the rough diamonds and shipping the diamonds to customers. Thus, the cremation ashes to diamonds cost is largely determined by the whole creation process.

Price Factor I - Cremation Ashes into Diamonds Cost
Carbon Purification

The cost of carbon purification is fixed regardless of the cremation diamond’s size you selected.

Carbon purification to a 4N purity (99.99% purity) is a sophisticated process. Thus, this process is carried out manually by LONITÉ’s specialists with their utmost respect, which usually takes an average of 5000 minutes per order.

Therefore, the LONITÉ carbon purification cost is 25 times higher compared with the cost of other ‘memorial diamonds’ treated with a mixture of pre-purified industrial graphite. Graphite (generic carbon) is added in their process to dilute impurities, and thus save their time and cost.

Price Factor II - Cremation Ashes into Diamonds Cost
Cremation Diamonds Creation

The creation cost of LONITÉ cremation diamond is largely decided by the growth time, which is measured in months. The larger the diamond is, the longer time it takes to grow, hence the higher cost it would be. For cremation diamond sizes larger than 0.5 carat, the related growth time is longer which results to the appreciably higher cost.

A diamond seed is required for carbon atoms derived from cremation ashes/hair to attach to and crystallize. In order to obtain the ultimate beauty of the cremation diamond, LONITÉ only uses natural diamonds from the top 0.1% of the best available diamonds as ‘seeds’. Unlike other companies, we never use CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) diamonds, though are much cheaper, for the ultimate beauty reason.

Price Factor III - Cremation Ashes into Diamonds Cost
No Local Mark-up

Unlike most of the companies who sell their cremation diamonds through regional distributors or hierarchical agents, each of them adding their own profit margin into the retail cost, LONITÉ has no middlemen to mark-up the cost.

Therefore, the cremation diamonds cost you paid is for diamond natural features, such as purity, quality, color and size you selected and ashes to diamond creation cost only, instead of 35%-45% regional distributors’ mark-ups.

The transparency of LONITÉ cremation diamond prices is our promise to customers. For LONITÉ, no “Price on application” is added into ashes to diamonds cost in UK.

Amber is the most natural colour and is achieved from a standard process, offering the lowest price (from £ 1400 / 0.25ct). In comparison, colourless cremation diamonds require the highest standard of purification by using the most advanced technology and thus offer the highest price (from £ 2000 / 0.25ct).

As to the growth time, a 1 carat Purely Colourless™ diamond can be several times that of a 1 carat Naturally Amber™ cremation diamond. Therefore, Purely Colourless™ cremation diamonds are the most expensive (up to £ 28000 / 3.0ct).
