Testimonials


Lenard and Roland at Carroll Lehr Funeral Home presented my LifeGem to me this eveing.  The beautiful red diamond, which represented my son's birthstone, was simply stunning in the white gold setting.  As I slipped it on my finger, I was moved with the knowledge that I would have a tangible part of Logan with me for the rest of my life.

 

Shame on you, Rusty.  When my office looked at the diamond, they all broke into tears.  What a wonderful product.  Please consider me a reference forever.

 

Many, many people are seeing this wonder, and all are taken aback.  I still can't find appropriate words to thank you enough for your efforts.  At Kitty Hawk United Methodist Church a few Sundays ago the sunlight coming through a stained glass window enveloped the gem with spectral light that practically rendered me witless.  Mom is in my heart and now with me every day.  I thank God we met.

 

 

Created Individually For You


High-quality created diamonds have been present for more than fifty years.  These diamonds are created by placing carbon, the primary element of all diamond, in conditions that recreate the forces of nature.  The patented LifeGem process differs by using an exact carbon source to create a beautiful and meaningful diamond for you and your family.

In summary, here is how we create your LifeGem diamond...

 

Step 1. Carbon Capture


After extensive research and development, we have discovered how to extract the carbon from a lock of hair or existing cremated remains.  This process begins with either an amount of hair collected during routine hair cut, a small portion of the remains from any standard cremation, or both.

 

Step 2. Purification


Once captured, this carbon is heated to extremely high temperatures under special conditions.  This prcess converts your loved one's carbon to graphite with unique characteristics and elements that will create your one-of-a-kind LifeGem diamond like no other in this world.

 

Step 3. Creation


To create your LifeGem, we now place this graphite in one of our unique diamond presses, which replicate the awesome forces deep within the earth-heat and pressure.  The more time in the press the larger the rough diamond crystal that results.

 

Step 4. Certification


Finally, our skilled diamond cutters facet your LifeGem diamond(s) according to your wishes, laser etch your unique identifier on the girdle, and certify it for authenticity.  All LifeGem diamonds are individually inspected, graded, and identified by world-renowned gemologists trained by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).  The world's finest jewelers use this same certification process.  A diamond that takes millions of years to occur naturally can now be created from the carbon of your loved one in about twenty-four weeks.
