Pet Memorial diamonds are a branch of “synthetic diamonds”, “cultured diamonds” or even “laboratory-grown diamonds”. However the key difference with these man made diamonds are that Semper Fides Memorial Diamonds are formed using only the carbon extracted from the cremated ashes of a pet, its fur or even plumage. The extracted carbon is then put through an extensive and complicated process involving purification and HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) machines that converts the carbon (from graphite form) to diamond ( Click here to read more ).  A very common inquiry that people have is, “Are Pet Memorial Diamonds real diamonds?”. The simple answer is yes. Pet Memorial diamonds have the same chemical composition along with the same visual and physical properties as a natural diamond.

Putting the Memorial in Pet Memorial Diamond

Any laboratory with the right tools and equipment can turn carbon into diamonds. However, creating pet memorial diamonds involves a unique and heartfelt process. A pet memorial diamond is a beautiful way to immortalize and remember a lost companion by transforming the carbon from your pet into a precious gem. The key distinction between a pet memorial diamond and any other diamond lies in its name: "Memorial." This aspect is what truly sets pet memorial diamonds apart.

A regular diamond is essentially a shiny rock with its carbon atoms arranged in a specific structure, forming a diamond lattice. In contrast, a pet memorial diamond holds far more significance because it is made from the carbon of your beloved pet. This special diamond encapsulates the priceless memories of your loyal companion, allowing them to remain close to you at all times. It serves as a constant reminder of the love and bond you shared, making it much more than just a diamond.
