Can we supply a raw diamond made from ashes?


We've been asked a few times if we can supply the raw diamond crystal made from the ashes of a loved-one,  well we could I suppose, but what would be the point? The idea of cutting and polishing diamonds is to capture the flashes of fire, the scintillation of light which diamonds do so well. You may as well encapsulate your ashes into glass, it would be cheaper and probably more suited. So I think we have to decline from even going there, after all 'fancy' diamonds arre so valuable in any case, it would be a shame to make a diamond out of a loved-one and then present it a just a rough crystal. Better to cut and polish it to allow it to shine and last forever. 

Laboratory created Coloured Diamonds



As from January 2008, we are pleased to be able to offer a new range of 'fancy' coloured diamonds, in the ranges of Aqua Blue, Topaz Blue, Vivid red and of course we still make the Amber and Canary coloured diamonds.

The 'Fancies' use a new process but whereas where we use 35-40 grams per carat for the yellow range, for the blues and fancy colours need to use 500 grams. The costs are reflected in the extremely high-tech process and the length of time it takes (over 3 months) at £9985/carat.

The International Cremation & Burial Exhibition


Hilton Newcastle Gateshead Hotel, Bottle Bank, Gateshead, NE8 2AR
Telephone [44] (0) 191 490 9700

Yeh, I know it sound bizarre, but there is probably a conference and exhibition for almost every single subject on the planet and death, funerals, cremations and the like are no exception.

We'll be exhibiting there on the 12th of November to the 14th, I hope anyone reading this will come to the event and view our Memorial Diamonds at first hand.

We will be showing for the first time our new BLUE DIAMOND range - admittedly a lot more expensive than the Canary Yellows and using more ashes, but the Blue Diamonds are stunning.

In the near future, we will be installing a new laser inscriber to mark all the new laboratory created range and if required - special messages.
