1. The Sentimental Significance of Hair - to - Diamond Transformation
Hair has long been considered a symbol of identity and connection. It holds a part of the person or pet it came from, making it a perfect source material for creating a personalized memorial. When we transform hair into diamonds, we are essentially taking a small part of our loved one and turning it into a beautiful, enduring gem.
For humans, a lock of hair can be a reminder of a special moment, like a wedding day, a childhood memory, or a milestone in a relationship. For pets, their fur is an intimate part of their being, and having it transformed into a diamond allows us to keep them close in a way that goes beyond traditional memorials. These diamonds can be set into various types of jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, or earrings, making them not only a beautiful accessory but also a deeply personal and wearable keepsake.
2. The Intricate Process of Creating Diamonds from Hair
The journey from hair to diamond is a complex and fascinating one. It begins with the careful collection of the hair sample. Whether it's a small lock of human hair or a tuft of pet fur, the hair is sent to our state - of - the - art laboratories.
Once at the laboratory, the first step is to extract the carbon from the hair. Hair contains carbon as an essential component of its structure. Through a series of precise chemical processes, our experts isolate the carbon, which will serve as the building block for the diamond.
After carbon extraction, the carbon is subjected to high - pressure and high - temperature (HPHT) conditions. These conditions replicate the natural environment deep within the Earth where diamonds are formed over millions of years. Under intense pressure and high temperatures, the carbon atoms gradually arrange themselves into a crystal lattice structure, which is the characteristic form of a diamond. This process takes time and requires meticulous monitoring to ensure that the resulting diamond has the desired quality and characteristics.
Once the diamond has been formed, it is cut, polished, and shaped according to the customer's preferences. Our skilled artisans offer a wide range of diamond cuts, from classic round and princess cuts to more unique shapes like heart and emerald cuts. The final diamond is then set into the jewelry piece of your choice, creating a one - of - a - kind memorial.

7. Factors Affecting the Cost
Diamond Size
The size of the diamond is one of the most significant factors influencing its cost. Larger diamonds require more carbon for their formation, which often means more hair may be needed. Additionally, the process of growing a larger diamond takes longer and demands more precise control of the HPHT conditions in the laboratory. As a result, larger diamonds are more expensive. For example, a 0.1 - carat diamond will generally cost significantly less than a 1 - carat diamond.
Diamond Quality
The quality of the diamond is another crucial determinant of cost. Diamond quality is evaluated based on several characteristics, including clarity (the absence of internal and external flaws), color (ranging from colorless to having a slight tint), and cut (how well the diamond has been shaped and faceted to maximize its brilliance). Higher - quality diamonds, with better clarity, a more colorless appearance, and a superior cut, will cost more to produce. For instance, a diamond with high clarity and a colorless grade will be more expensive than one with some visible inclusions and a slight yellowish tint.
Customization
Customization options can also have a significant impact on the cost. If you desire a specific diamond cut, such as a princess cut, emerald cut, or a unique custom - designed cut, it may add to the cost. Similarly, if you choose a more elaborate setting for your diamond, like a ring with intricate metalwork or additional gemstone accents, the price will increase. However, we strive to keep our customization costs reasonable, ensuring that you can create a truly unique memorial without breaking the bank.
8. FAQ
Q1: How long does it take to create a diamond from hair?
A: On average, the process takes between 8 - 12 weeks. This timeline includes the initial collection and transportation of the hair sample (if applicable), the carbon extraction process, the diamond growth phase under HPHT conditions, and the final cutting and polishing of the diamond. However, the exact time may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the customization, the current workload in our laboratories, and any potential delays in shipping the hair or the finished product.
Q2: How much hair do you need to create a diamond?
A: We typically require around 2 grams of hair to create a diamond. However, if you have less than this amount, don't worry. Our advanced techniques allow us to work with smaller quantities as well. Keep in mind that the amount of hair available may affect the size of the resulting diamond. If you have a very small amount of hair, the diamond may be smaller in size.
Q3: Can I choose the shape and setting of the diamond?
A: Absolutely! We offer a wide range of diamond shapes to choose from, including round, princess, emerald, cushion, and more. You can discuss your preferences with our experienced customer service team, who will guide you through the available options based on your budget and the size of the diamond. Additionally, we have an extensive collection of settings for you to choose from, whether you prefer a simple, classic setting or a more elaborate, contemporary design. If you have a specific custom - design idea in mind, we can also work with you to bring your vision to life.
Q4: Are the diamonds created from hair real?
A: Yes, the diamonds we create are real diamonds. They have the same chemical composition (carbon) and physical properties as natural diamonds. The only difference is that our diamonds are created in a laboratory, using a process that replicates the natural conditions under which diamonds are formed in the Earth's mantle. These lab - grown diamonds are indistinguishable from natural diamonds to the naked eye and are recognized as genuine diamonds in the jewelry industry.
Q5: What if I'm not satisfied with the final product?
A: Customer satisfaction is our top priority. If, for any reason, you're not happy with the final diamond or the service provided, please contact us as soon as possible. We have a dedicated customer support team that will work closely with you to understand your concerns. Depending on the nature of the issue, we may offer options such as re - evaluating the diamond's quality, providing additional customization to meet your expectations, or, in rare cases, offering a refund. We are committed to ensuring that you are completely satisfied with your hair - to - diamond memorial.
