Algordanza diamond clarity
Algordanza developed a very high-quality purification process to extract pure carbon from cremation ashes in 2003 and has been constantly improving it ever since. Our processing creates carbon that is 99.99% pure which grows beautiful colourless to blue diamonds.
More than 80% of all Algordanza diamonds have a clarity value of VS1 or above.
Diamond quantity & cuts
Algordanza offers six cuts for cremation diamonds; Radiant, Princess, Heart, Asscher, Brilliant and Emerald.Â
Variations in diamond growth
Since a diamond actually grows over time, the diamond’s end carat size could be slightly smaller or slightly larger than requested. If the diamond is smaller, the price will be reduced, however if the diamond is larger, the price will not increase.
Superior technology
Algordanza HPHT presses are made in Germany and specifically engineered to make Memorial Diamonds.
In order for a lab grown diamond to understand how it should grow, a real diamond seed is needed to start the diamond synthesis. We use real diamonds to start the growth process.
The larger the cremation diamond should be, the longer it needs to stay in a controlled environment in order to properly grow, which is a major cost factor in time and energy.
Diamond colour facts
ALGORDANZA does not influence the colouration of their diamonds.
Due to the element boron ligated to our bodies naturally, ALGORDANZA cremation diamonds can be colourless (very little boron present) or be very dark blue (large amount of boron present).
If a cremation diamond is yellow, amber or black, then nitrogen and other impurities have been introduced into the carbon. Red, pink and green diamonds are yellow diamonds that have been bombarded with radiation to change their colour, also causing the diamond lattice to break down, making them weaker.
Colourless and blue diamonds are the most difficult to grow, Algordanza specializes in these very rare and precious memorial diamonds.
Rough diamonds cost less
Diamonds from ashes or hair that are rough (uncut) are simply polished to remove sharp edges, which reduces threir price compared to a cut diamond.
More unique
Rough diamonds are preferred by many clients because they reflect their loved one’s “Rough Edges”, both having been naturally formed. No two rough diamonds are the same and are therefore unique.
Free pick-up and delivery
As a service, we personally pick up and deliver your loved one’s ashes or hair and also personally deliver the finished memorial diamond to you or your funeral home at your request.

Laser inscription
Each ALGORDANZA cemation diamond is inscribed with a unique authentication code as well as the ALGORDANZA logo at no extra cost.
A personal inscription may also be engraved on a rough diamond for an extra fee, but this laser inscription is only visible with a microscope. Depending on the size of the diamond, between 25 and 30 characters are possible.
