This Company Turns Cremated Remains Into Diamonds. Here is How and Why

A company over in Switzerland is offering a very different kind of memorial process for your loved ones who have passed away. They can take the cremated ashes and under intense heat and pressure turn them into a man made diamond that can be kept and worn forever more.

The process starts by the company extracting the carbon form the ashes left by the cremation. This carbon is then converted to graphite under intense heat.

The graphite is then subjected to even more heat – 2,700 degrees Fehrenheit and subjected to forces as high as 870,000 pounds per square inch.
