Select Your Memory
Any object that holds carbon can become a diamond. Almost anything that once mattered to you can become one.

What can
become
a diamond
Dried flowers, a lock of hair, fabric from a meaningful garment, old letters, feathers, grass, sand, wood from a cherished place. If it once held life, it almost certainly qualifies.
What won't
work
Anything inorganic, glass, ceramics, most rock and metal, can't be used. Even when a material technically contains carbon, it's locked in a form that can't be extracted and grown. A diamond needs purified carbon, and only once-living material gives that cleanly.
How much
material we need
Smaller than you'd expect. For example, we need just 1 gram of hair, or 4 grams of dried petals. A little goes a very long way.

Design Your Diamond
You decide everything.
Shape, colour, size.

Step 1 Shape
Choose the Cut
Your diamond can be left rough or polished.
A rough diamond is raw and uncut, exactly as it emerges from the growth chamber. It has a natural, mineral beauty and no two look alike.
Most people choose polished, but rough has its own quiet power.
Step 2 Shape
Choose the Shape
If you choose polished, your diamond will be shaped by a craftsman to maximize how light moves through it.
The available shapes are: asscher, baguette, cushion, heart, marquise, oval, pear, princess and round.
Custom shapes are also possible. Use the contact form for a special design request.
Step 3 Colour
Choose the Colour
You choose the colour. It does not depend on the source material. The colour is determined during the growth process by introducing specific elements into the growth chamber, so every colour is available for any object.
The colours available are: classic clear, yellow, blue, black, pink, red, and green. Most of them come in two intensities: light and vivid. If you have something else in mind, we can discuss it.
Step 4 size
Choose the Size
Carat measures weight, not size, which is why the number alone can be hard to picture. A 0.25 ct stone is about the size of a match head at 4 mm across. At 0.50 ct you are close to a lentil, at 0.75 ct a peppercorn, and at 1.00 ct, the classic choice, a coffee bean at 6.5 mm. A 1.50 ct stone is close to a garden pea, and 2.00 ct is about a chickpea at 8 mm.
All of these measurements describe a round brilliant cut; elongated shapes such as oval or pear spread a little wider for the same weight.

Begin Yours
Follow Every
Step of the Growth
Weeks of growth, months of careful craftsmanship. We think you should witness every moment of it.
see how
Follow the process online or in person.
From the moment your material arrives at our lab to the day your diamond leaves it, you are there for every milestone. Every diamond includes the EcoDiamond app, where each step appears as it happens.
The loading of your growth cell is filmed and sent to you as standard. That is the moment your carbon, and nothing else, goes in. No other lab shows you this.
Want another step filmed, or to be in the room in Lambrechtshagen? Both can be arranged in the app. This is your diamond. You should be there for it.
How long does it take from order to delivery?
Growing a diamond takes time. Most diamonds are delivered within 3 months from order. Colored diamonds may take up to 4 months, because of the additional colouring step. Once you complete the design process, we will give you an accurate timeline for your diamond.
STEP 1
Carbon extracted
Our team carefully extracts the carbon from them. This is where your memories transformation begins.
STEP 2
Graphite prepared
Carbon is purified into graphite, it's the element every diamond is born from.
STEP 3
Growth cell assembled
This cell holds only your memory and we film it for you.
STEP 4
The growth begins
The growth cell enters the chamber.
The process has begun.
STEP 5
Growth complete
Your diamond has finished growing. Raw, unpolished, and entirely grown from your memory.
STEP 6
Diamond extracted
Your raw diamond is carefully removed from the growth cell and prepared for the next stage.
STEP 7
Cut and polished
Master craftsmen shape your diamond into the cut you chose.
STEP 8
EcoDiamond certification
Your diamond is independently graded as a genuine stone, chemically and physically identical to any diamond found in the earth. The difference is that this one is grown from your special memory.
