Complete process how cremation diamonds are prepared.

2. We would like to express our special
thanks of gratitude to our class teacher
Miss Promila Kohli , who gave us the
golden opportunity to do this wonderful
project on the topic DNA TO DIAMONDS
(preparation of cremation diamonds),
which also helped us in doing a lot of
Research and we came to know about so
many new things we are really thankful to
her.
Secondly we would also like to thank our
parents and friends who helped us a lot in
finalizing this project.

3. Cremation Diamonds are real, certified, high-quality cremation
jewellery diamonds. A beautiful Cremation Urn alternative created
from the cremation ashes of your loved one.
All cremation diamonds are individually authenticated, inspected,
graded and identified by our world-renowned and highly trained
gemologists. With each certified, high-quality, cremation diamond,
companies (like Lifegem, Cremation solution,etc.) offer an exclusive
diamond guarantee against any and all defects.
Cremation diamonds are a one of a kind style of cremation jewellery
and a meaningful alternative to cremation urns. A true memorial to a
unique life. Embrace your cremation diamond jewellery as
a personal precious bond.
These diamonds provide way to embrace your loved ones memory
day by day and quickly become a family heirloom. Cremation urns
can still be used to hold the remaining ashes. The cremation
diamond is the most unique and timeless cremation jewellery tribute
available. Create a testimony to their unique life.

4. Carbon is chemical element with symbol C, and atomic
number 6, a non-metal which has two main forms
(diamond and graphite) and which also occurs in impure
form in charcoal, soot, and coal.

5. Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes due to its
valency. Well-known forms of carbon include diamond and
graphite. In recent decades many more allotropes and
forms of carbon have been discovered and researched
including ball shapes such as buckminsterfullerene and
sheets such as graphene. Other unusual forms of carbon
exist at very high temperature or extreme pressures.

6. Major Allotropes of carbon:
(a) Diamond,
(b) Graphite,
(c) Lonsdaleite,
(d) C60 (Buckminsterfullerene).

7. In mineralogy, diamond is a metastable allotrope of
carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a
variation of the face - centered cubic crystal structure
called a diamond lattice.
Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative
physical qualities, most of which originate from the
strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In
particular, diamond has the highest hardness and
thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Those
properties determine the major industrial application of
diamond in cutting and polishing tools and the scientific
applications in diamond knives and diamond anvil
cells.

8. STRUCTURE –
In diamond each carbon atom is linked to other four carbon
atoms(by covalent bonding). The structure extends in space and
produces a rigid 3-D network of carbon atoms. It is very difficult to
break extended covalent bonds therefore diamond is a hardest
substance on Earth.
USES –
Because diamonds are so hard and durable, they are ideal for
grinding, cutting, drilling, and polishing. When used as an abrasive,
very small pieces of diamond are embedded into grinding wheels,

9. 1. Receiving the carbon source
Diamond specialists take the sample of ashes and
places it in a special container to create a fine powder
necessary for chemical analysis.
Making sample of ashes into powder. Powder prepared from sample of
ashes.

10. 2. Converting sample to pure carbon
High temperature Owen heats the sample to nearly
2000 ˚ F for three hours converting the sample into pure
personal carbon. Personal carbon is mixed with some
natural carbon in order to ensure sufficient amount for
creation process.
Putting powdered sample into Owen.
Pure carbon formed after heating.

11. 3. Creating the core(of personal carbon)
Core of carbon is prepared by placing the fine powder
under hydraulic press. The prepared core is further
used for preparation of diamond.
Step 1 step 3
Step 2

12. Next, the core is prepared for placement in the heart of
the diamond incubator.
A prepared core of carbon A very small diamond seed is placed
inside
ceramic core along with compressed carbon
core
The final core is prepared (small white box).

13. 4. Placing the final core under high
temperature and pressure
The finished final core is placed inside the diamond growth
chamber.
Finished core is enclosed inside Enclosing and interlocking the chamber
growth chamber. with small and large steel shells.

14. The enclosed chamber is put under high pressure – high
temperature for 2 to 3 days (depending upon the carat
size).
Approx. 60,000 atm pressure

15. 5. The Final Process
(a) Taking out the diamond
All of the layered part shown earlier are removed over
the ceramic core remaining.
Removing high – temp. and pressure from Taking out steel shells over
the
shells covering core. core (the white object in
centre).

16. The core is cracked open. Your rough diamond wrapped
in a thin metal slave is revealed.
(b) Cleaning
The rough diamond is cleaned by
putting it into an acid solution.

17. (c) Cutting and Polishing
After being cut and polish it would be graded by
Gemmological Institute. After that it would be sent to
you in a luxurious presentation package to show its
beautiful fire, brilliance and lustre.

Cremation diamonds costs a lot. In India cremation
diamonds cost ranges from 1.5 Lac to Crores
(depending upon carat, colour, cutting, clarity and shape
).
