Hair or Ashes to Gemstone – What’s Real and What’s Not?
Share
At Black Jack® Memory, we transform the essence of your loved one — whether human or pet — into a certified lab-grown diamond or a symbolically infused gemstone. Using advanced carbon science and the world’s most trusted HPHT process, we preserve memories as real gemstones that can be worn forever.
How We Turn Carbon Into Diamonds
We extract carbon from clean hair or cremation ashes. This carbon is purified and converted into graphite, which is then placed into a High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) machine. Under intense heat and pressure, a real diamond is grown over several weeks — infused with your loved one’s carbon.
Accepted Carbon Sources
- Human Hair – scalp, beard, or body (clean, dry)
- Cremation Ashes – minimum 300 grams
- Pets – dog, cat, rabbit, horse (hair or ashes)

⚠️ WARNING: The Truth About CZ, Ruby & Pearl Scams
Many brands on social media and marketplaces (like Etsy, Amazon) claim that they create rubies, pearls, or cubic zirconia (CZ) "from ashes or hair." This is scientifically false and ethically misleading.
These stones do not contain carbon in their chemical structure, and cannot be made from human remains. These sellers often place ashes behind the stone in a chamber, or simply use symbolic packaging — while falsely claiming it was "grown from your loved one."
✅ Only lab-grown diamonds and partial moissanites can contain real extracted carbon from ashes or hair. Always ask for scientific proof.
Legal in the USA? Yes.
It is fully legal and certified in the USA to turn human or pet hair/ashes into lab-grown diamonds. At Black Jack®, we follow all ethical and safety protocols to ensure traceability and care.
