IV. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How long does it take to turn ashes into a diamond or a ring?
The process of turning ashes into a diamond typically takes around five to eighteen months. The time can vary depending on factors such as the size and color of the diamond you desire. For example, smaller diamonds and those with more common colors like yellow or amber usually take less time. Once the diamond is ready, if you choose to have it set in a ring, the additional time for ring setting and customization is usually between two to four weeks.
Q2: What is the quality of the diamonds produced?
The diamonds we produce are of premium quality. They have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds. The carbon extracted from the ashes is processed under high - pressure and high - temperature conditions to form a diamond structure that is both durable and beautiful. We subject the diamonds to strict quality control measures to ensure they meet high standards of clarity, cut, and color. The clarity of our diamonds can range from internally flawless to slightly included, and the cut is carefully crafted to maximize the diamond's brilliance.
Q3: Can I choose the cut and color of the diamond?
Yes, you have a wide range of options when it comes to choosing the cut and color of the diamond. Common cuts include round brilliant cut, cushion cut, princess cut, and oval cut. In terms of color, we can produce a variety of colors. Colorless diamonds are the most popular but also the most expensive. Yellow, blue, and other colored diamonds are also available. The cost may vary depending on the color and the complexity of the production process. For example, blue diamonds often require additional processing due to the need to introduce or enhance the boron content in the carbon extracted from the ashes, which can increase the production time and cost.
Q4: Do you provide any certifications for the diamonds?
Yes, we can provide a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certification for the diamonds upon request. This certification adds an extra layer of authenticity and quality assurance. It details the diamond's characteristics such as carat weight, color, clarity, and cut grade. However, please note that there will be an additional fee for obtaining this certification. The cost for a GIA certification depends on the size and complexity of the diamond, typically ranging from \(200 for smaller, simpler diamonds to \)800 for larger, more intricate ones.
Q5: How do I send the ashes to you?
We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to package and send the ashes. It is crucial to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the safe and proper handling of your precious materials. We recommend using a sturdy, leak - proof container to hold the ashes. The container should then be placed inside a padded envelope or box for added protection during transit. We take great care in handling all items received and ensure strict confidentiality throughout the process. Once you receive the shipping instructions from us, you can choose a reliable shipping method, such as a tracked courier service, to send the ashes to our designated processing facility.
Q6: Can I get a refund if I'm not satisfied with the final product?
We strive to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with the final diamond or ring for any reason, please contact us within 30 days of receiving the product. We will review your case and, if applicable, offer a refund or a replacement. However, the refund or replacement policy may be subject to certain conditions. For example, if the dissatisfaction is due to a change in your personal preferences rather than a defect in the product, we may charge a restocking fee. In case of a product defect, we will cover all costs associated with the refund or replacement.
Q7: How much ashes are needed to make a diamond?
The amount of ashes required depends on the size of the diamond you want to produce. Generally, for a 0.25 - carat diamond, around 100 - 150 grams of ashes are sufficient. For larger diamonds, more ashes may be needed. For a 1 - carat diamond, approximately 300 - 400 grams of ashes are typically required. If you are unsure about the quantity of ashes you have or the size of diamond you can obtain from it, we can provide you with a more accurate estimate based on the details you provide.
Q8: Can I make multiple diamonds from the same batch of ashes?
In some cases, it may be possible to make multiple smaller diamonds from the same batch of ashes, depending on the amount of ashes available and the sizes of the diamonds you desire. We can assess the feasibility of this option based on the quantity of ashes you send. If you are interested in making multiple diamonds, please let us know in advance, and we can discuss the best approach to meet your commemorative needs. However, keep in mind that the process of making multiple diamonds may require more precise handling and may slightly increase the overall production time.
Q9: Can I track the progress of my diamond - making process?
Yes, we provide a tracking system that allows you to monitor the progress of your diamond - making process. You will be able to see the different stages, from the receipt of your ashes, the extraction of carbon, the transformation of carbon into diamond, and the final cutting and polishing stages. The tracking system is updated regularly, and you can access it through a unique tracking code provided to you at the start of the process. This gives you peace of mind and keeps you informed about the status of your special commemorative item.
Q10: Are there any cultural or religious considerations regarding turning ashes into diamonds?
Different cultures and religions may have varying views on this practice. In some cultures, it may be seen as a unique and meaningful way to honor and remember the deceased. However, in others, traditional burial or cremation practices may be deeply ingrained, and the idea of turning ashes into diamonds may be less common or even considered inappropriate. It is important to respect and consider the cultural and religious beliefs of the deceased and their family members. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the cultural or religious implications of this process, we can provide you with more information and guidance. We encourage open communication to ensure that the process aligns with your values and beliefs.
