A diamond burial is an exquisite and amazing form of burial and an amazing way to commemorate a lost loved one. Many clients however, are faced with the question, “what do I do with a memorial diamond?” or more commonly, “what kind of jewelry is best to commemorate my lost loved one?”.
There is no ‘right’ way to commemorate a lost loved one. To begin, jewelry is not compulsory when it comes to a diamond burial. Many clients actually just opt for the memorial diamond placed in a beautiful wooden box. This option is typically picked by clients who plan on placing the memorial diamond at home. Most clients do however, prefer to have the diamond with them at all times, therefore, if you wish, we can refer you to our authorised jeweller in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, who can set your memorial diamond into a ring, a pendant or another piece of jewelry. These jewelries can be as simple as a 6-prong setting encasing the memorial diamond itself, or as complex as you can imagine. You can work directly with the authorised jeweller to turn your idea into your own bespoke piece of memorabilia. For more religious individuals, the authorised jeweller can also discuss designs that suit your needs.
There are many options, for Christians, there are a multitude of crosses to choose from. The diamond will be embedded in the cross as seen in the picture below, which is a necklace with a cross pendent.
For Buddhists, there is a beautifully crafted pendent that represents protection and dispels fear. However, if none of these suits your preference or aren’t what you envisioned, fret not. If none of these styles suit you, you can discuss a custom design with the authorised jeweller, so your jewelry is made the way you want it. Like this custom phoenix pendant (picture below), which is decorated with smaller natural diamonds around it. There are so many different options to choose from when it comes to jewelry for memorial diamonds. From a simple raw diamond to many different settings, you can discuss the options with the authorised jeweller.
The choice is yours. Some people settle for just the diamond alone, as they feel that’s its safer to keep the diamond at home. Some others prefer having the diamond on their person, sometimes in the form of an ear ring, necklace or bracelet. This may help with the grieving process as it gives the bereaved the feeling like their lost loved ones are with them. A few of these clients even take the memorial diamond to complete the unfulfilled wishes of their lost loved one, such as visiting places that they would have wanted to go.
Regardless of what option you choose, Algordanza will be there at every step of the way, providing complete transparency and exceptional customer service. Ensuring you have a good experience and hopefully help you through your time of grievance.
