"The loss of my grandpa was the one I’ve feared since I could understand what it meant. Now I get to carry a part of him and all our memories forever. The process was easy in terms of what I had to do, but it was a long and worthwhile wait."

Memorial Diamond 4Cs
Here we explain the “4Cs” standard – colour, cut, clarity, and carat weight – which are the most important principles to consider when ordering a diamond.
In 1953 the 4Cs became the international standard for diamond grading. As created by the Gemological Institute of America, the diamond standard was established as a universal system for grading a diamond’s quality and its value, helping customers compare diamonds of different prices.
Memorial diamonds are genuine diamonds. They can also be graded by IGI under the authentic 4Cs standards. Nevertheless, there is still more to learn about what’s special about making diamonds out of memorial ashes and the 4Cs.
Memorial Diamond 4Cs - Colour
The natural colour of memorial diamonds is yellow. This is due to the presence of other elements such as nitrogen inside the human body and occurs in any process of making diamonds out of memorial ashes.
A natural yellow diamond can be priced at 3 to 5 times that of a colourless diamond. Conversely, a colourless memorial diamond is more costly than a yellow memorial diamond because it takes a lot of additional work to purify and remove elements such as nitrogen or boron.
Because it is affected by the individual elements inside each ordered diamond, the colour of every EverDear diamond is unique. When making diamonds out of memorial ashes, these colours fall mostly between “Fancy Light” and “Fancy Vivid”.
EverDear does not add any additional elements during the production process, which makes your diamonds more natural and completely unique.
Memorial Diamond 4Cs - Clarity
Clarity measures the tiny inclusions found in diamonds, such as carbon needles, clouds, pinpoints, and knots.
When making diamonds out of memorial ashes and hair, natural substances and elements may also exist in the final memorial diamond.
Most EverDear memorial diamonds are “VS” or “VVS” grade (Very, Very Slightly Included). This means no internal inclusions can be seen without the help of a magnification lens. When turning ashes into memorial diamonds of larger sizes, these may have slightly more inclusions than the standard sizes.
Memorial Diamond 4Cs - Cut
The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance and sparkle.
The “round brilliant” cut with 58 facets is the most dazzling shape among all diamond cuts. This cut also retains a maximum size of the memorial diamond.
That’s why the round brilliant cut is recommended by our experts as the final cut when making memorial diamonds out of ashes.
Memorial Diamond 4Cs - Carat Size
Diamond size is measured in carat. One carat is further divided into 100 points.
As size increases, the price of a diamond increases sharply. A 1 carat diamond has 3 to 5 times the value of a half-carat diamond in today’s market.
Different from on-stock mined diamonds, the exact size of a memorial diamond cannot be pre-determined. The given creation time frame dictates a size range, but the final size may vary individually. This is the reason, when we turn ashes into memorial diamonds, we price them according to carat range rather than exact size.
