Is it real?? It says so on the certificate.......

Just take a look at this fabulous 25.38 carat "flawless" "colourless (E)" diamond.  It truly is beautiful and any girl would love it on their finger.

But first impressions are not what they seem, OK it's a real diamond, but according to the certificate, it was once a different colour??? and it is also man-made by the HPHT process.

Being such a huge 'rock' one is likely to think that it just can't be real, because nowadays there are fabulous sparklers made from CZ, Moissanite , and other such simulants.

So if it is still a real diamond, but it was once a different colour, is it (say) worth 2/3rds of the value of a natural mined diamond.  If a laboratory can tweak a diamond which was made by the HPHT process and in the end the process produces a 'flawless white' - and it is still a real diamond - then what??

We actually make real diamonds too.  We make 'Memorial Diamonds' - real diamonds but made using the carbon extracted from ashes (or hair) of a deceased person (or a living person using their hair).

Because we don't irradiate (tweak) the colours in any way, we offer the nearest thing to a 'naturally grown' diamond with its own natural shade - whether that is Canary yellow or Blue.

We are asked all the time for "white" (clear) "Memorial Diamond" but we just don't see the point of REMOVING the subtle natural colour contained in a loved-ones make-up (ashes or hair).


The real diamond to the right was made from dead honey bees, we extracted the carbon from dead bees to make a beautiful honey coloured diamond of about 1.35 carat.

If we irradiated it and changed its colour, it would hardly be 'The Honey Bee Diamond'.

We feel the same about naturally coloured 'Memorial Diamonds" - yellow or blue.

They are what they are.

We are offered a $35,000 brown diamond - bizarre!!

The picture shows a Princess cut natural diamond being offered to us at $35,000 (yes you read that correct). It is described as "Brownish, Reddish, Orange" "0.8 carat" - it's almost as bad as 'Cognac' diamonds made in Russia. In our own 'Nutshell' we researched 'fancy' diamonds and 'cognac' (brown) worth between $4000-$15,000 per carat).

Our own laboratory grown memorial diamonds are only £6750 for a 1 carat Brilliant Cut (round) with 58 facets - AND - they are actually made using the carbon in your 'loved-one's ashes or hair.
