Celebration diamonds are similar to cremation diamonds, the basic difference being that they can be made whilst the subject is still alive.

What Are Celebration Diamonds?

Celebration are lab created diamonds that are grown using a sample of the carbon from a living person or animal. The resulting stone thus contains a small but real part of the donor’s essence. Celebration diamonds are usually made from a lock of a person’s hair.

The process doesn’t just apply to humans. Some pet owners like to have celebration diamonds made from their animal’s hair.

Celebration diamonds can also be used for their romantic symbolism. Sometimes couples like to have pairs of gems made; perhaps each will wear a stone made with the hair of the other, or perhaps two stones will be created which both contain hair from each partner.
