We wish funeral directors would promote UK 'Memorial Diamonds'

Considering we (Phoenix-Diamonds.com) are the only UK based 'Memorial Diamond' maker in the world, you would expect British funeral directors to learn more about Who, What, Why, When, Where and How....... Our competition is Russian, American and European - and that's it!!! Why? Because the equipment runs into ££Millions and the expertise spans many many years (of both failure and successes) so we are not likely to suffer anyone setting up next week.  But there is a difficulty facing all the bereaved left behind who wish to memorialise their loved one - with such huge sums involved (£3250 to £12,500) the industry is bound to have the con's and 'suspect' products..... Already we have had 'Tomorrows Traditions' allegedly conning customers who (in the words of an ex partner...) have supplied diamonds NOT made from the ashes of the loved-one.  It would be simple to buy a man-made diamond of almost flawless quality, throw the ashes away and hand over the cheaper diamond at the more profitable price of a real 'Memorial Diamond'.  Also, colours are suspect and we will tackle this in our next posting........ hold your breath

$35,000 - are you mad??

We've been offered this natural diamond [from] but who on earth would say this a fabulous?? It's described as "Brownish, Reddish, Orange" and they want $35,000 for a Princess cut diamond weighing 0.8 carat...... are they mad??
Our laboratory grown diamonds are canary coloured (light yellow) and they cost £6500 for 1.00 carat cut in 'Brilliant' with 58 facets - AND - they are made from the last remnants of your loved-one's ashes or hair.  A bargain for the Brits........

Champagne and Cognac diamonds - beware!

The terms 'Champagne', 'Cognac' and 'Coffee' refer to different types of brown diamonds. In the diamond processing/dealing industry, the word 'Brown' is considered a killer as far as diamond value goes. Even though champagne is a light yellow colour, champagne diamonds are Light Brown. Cognac is usually used to describe a diamond that is Orangish-Brown because cognac is a deep golden-orange colour.

These are NOT our manufacture (probably Russian)  and NOT 'Canary' in colour

What are Memorial Diamonds?

Memorial diamonds are REAL genuine diamonds made in a laboratory but also made out of the ASHES ('Cremains') or hair of a person or animal - alive or deceased.
