Cremation diamonds for pets
Turning ashes into diamonds isn’t just a way to hold onto the memories of family and friends. It’s also a heart-felt way of remembering the special bond we share with our pets.

Are ashes made from diamonds real diamonds?
Diamonds made from ashes are the same as diamonds mined within the Earth. They go through the exact same creation process.
The main difference is that while intense pressure and heat is applied for billions of years to make a mined diamond, diamonds made from ashes are formed inside a lab. Using the same high pressure and heat, diamonds made this way can be created in as little as a few months.
Are they expensive?
Making diamonds out of ashes is surprisingly affordable, regardless of your budget. If you just want a single diamond to commemorate your loved one, you can spend as little as $750 for a genuine diamond made from ashes.
When you take into consideration that cremations are thousands of dollars cheaper than burials, you can easily have your loved one cremated and make a diamond out of their ashes while still saving money on a burial.

Other ways to make memorial diamonds
Memorial diamonds don’t have to be made from ashes. If you choose to have your loved one or pet buried instead, you can still use their remains to make a unique keepsake for you to treasure.
At Heart In Diamond, we can make memorial diamonds from the hair of loved ones or fur of pets who have passed away. To make a diamond this way, you need around ½ cup of hair or fur.
What if I don’t have enough ash, hair or fur?
If you don’t have ⅔ cup of ashes or ½ cup of hair or fur, we can still make a memorial diamond as a tribute to the person or pet you’ve lost. Send us the sample you have and we will complete it by adding generic carbon.
Your loved one’s essence will still form the foundation of the diamond. The generic carbon is just a little helper to support the remains while they transform into a glistening diamond.
It’s your choice
There are many different ways to commemorate a loved one after they’ve passed away. It’s important you choose the option which is best suited to you and the person you’ve lost. Making a diamond out of ashes is a wonderful way to hold onto the connection you once shared, while ensuring their memory will live on for years to come.
Your unique cremation diamond will make you feel at peace when loneliness hits, it will provide an interesting talking point if you want to be open about it, and it will provide your family with a beautiful heirloom to pass on through generations. While diamonds made from ashes aren’t for everyone, those who choose to embrace them are rewarded with a calming sense of well-being and tranquility.
