What are memorial diamonds?
A memorial diamond, also called an ash diamond or cremation diamond is a unique alternative or addition to the traditional urn interment in which we take the cremation ashes or hair from a loved one and turn them into a diamond by simulating the natural diamond making process with special HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) presses.
