The creation of a memorial diamond consists of extracting carbon from the cremation ashes or hair of a deceased person to create a real diamond. The resulting memorial diamond gives comfort and strength to the bereaved, who in this way can be close to their loved one after death.
The ALGORDANZA memorial diamond reflects the uniqueness of the deceased person and is always made individually according to your wishes.

The ALGORDANZA Classic Memorial Diamond is made solely from the carbon extracted from the cremation ashes of a loved one. In order to be able to grow a diamond from ashes, 1 lbs. of cremation ashes is required.
The ALGORDANZA memorial diamond made from hair is made by isolated pure carbon from the hair of a loved one who has passed away. Between 5g and 10g (.18 to .35 oz) of hair is required to create it. A memorial diamond grown from hair is often desired as an addition to a traditional burial, if cremation is not desired or (religio-)culturally accepted.

When an adult is cremated, up to 4 kg (8 lbs.) of ashes can be produced. To create a memorial diamond, however, it is not the volume of the ash that is decisive, but its carbon content. As a rule, 5 grams (.18 oz.) of hair or 500 grams (1 lbs.) of ashes are sufficient to ensure the creation of an ALGORDANZA Cremation Diamond.
If you choose an ALGORDANZA Classic ash diamond, you decide what happens to the remaining ashes:
The handing over of the memorial diamond to the relatives takes place in a solemn setting by the commissioned funeral home, alternatively the ash diamond can be picked up at our headquarters in Domat/Ems.
