Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many customers create a diamond from their own hair to mark a personal milestone, a new beginning, recovery, graduation, self-love, or an important life chapter.

Yes. Hair from someone meaningful to you may be used.

This could be hair from a partner, parent, child, family member, or someone you want to keep close. Please make sure the material is collected respectfully and stored safely before sending it.

Yes. You can place an order first and prepare the material after. We will guide you on how much material may be needed and how to store it safely before sending it to us.

Please let us know what materials you currently have and what kind of diamond you'd like to create. We'll help you choose the right product based on your materials and intended use.

Yes. Your hair can be used to create a lab-grown diamond.

Hair contains carbon, which is needed for diamond growth. Most orders require about 3–5 grams. If you are not sure whether you have enough, contact us first and we can help you check.

Yes. Pet fur can be used to create a diamond.

This may be fur from a dog, cat, horse, rabbit, or another beloved animal companion. If you only have a small amount, contact us first so we can review whether it may be suitable.

No. The core creation process is the same.

A Lumenlsle diamond begins with meaningful organic material, such as human hair, pet fur, preserved flowers, fabric, letters, or another suitable keepsake. The carbon is carefully extracted and purified, then used to grow a real lab-grown diamond.

The difference is not the science.
The difference is the reason behind the diamond.

A Living Diamond is created to honor the present — a personal milestone, a relationship, a family bond, a pet who is still by your side, or a chapter of life you want to remember.

A Memorial Diamond is created to remember someone or a pet who has passed away.

Both are Lumenlsle custom diamonds. Both are made through the same diamond creation journey.

A Memorial Diamond is a custom diamond. It is a personal way to keep love, memory, and connection close in a form that can be worn, held, or passed down.

No. We do not use cremation ashes.

We focus on hair, pet fur, preserved flowers, fabric, paper, and other suitable dry organic materials. This keeps the process aligned with the materials we specialize in.

You may send human hair, pet fur, dried flowers, cotton fabric, paper letters, or another dry organic keepsake.

Not every material is suitable. Some fabrics, coated papers, synthetic fibers, plastic blends, or chemically treated materials may not be usable. If you are unsure, contact us before sending it.

Most hair orders require about 3–5 grams of hair.

The amount needed may depend on the diamond size and order details. If you have less than this, contact us first instead of guessing.

No. More material does not automatically mean a bigger diamond.

Your material provides the personal carbon source. The final diamond size depends on the carat size you choose, the growth process, cutting, polishing, and production planning.

If your materials aren't suitable, we will review them before proceeding and provide you with guidance. Therefore, if your materials are old, very small in size, contaminated with other substances, or fall under special circumstances, we recommend that you contact us first.

No. Hair and pet fur do not need to be freshly cut.

Older hair or fur may still be suitable if it has been kept dry, clean, and safe. Avoid sending material that is wet, moldy, heavily perfumed, or mixed with unknown substances.

No. Please keep it dry.

Do not add water, perfume, oil, chemicals, or cleaning products.

In many cases, yes.

You may be able to combine hair from multiple family members, human hair with pet fur, or flowers with another meaningful material. Please contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the materials are suitable together.

Contact us first.

A small amount may still be useful depending on the material type and the diamond you want to create. We can help you understand what may be possible before you place an order.

We extract carbon from your material, purify it, and use it to grow a lab-grown diamond.

After the diamond is grown, it is cut, polished, inspected, and prepared for delivery or jewelry setting. The full process turns your meaningful material into a finished diamond you can keep, wear, or pass down.

Yes. The finished stone is a real lab-grown diamond, not glass, resin, crystal, or a diamond simulant.

It should be described as a lab-grown diamond because it is not a mined diamond. It can be cut, polished, graded when applicable, and set into fine jewelry.

A lab-grown diamond has the same diamond structure as other lab-grown diamonds.

The difference is the meaning behind it. Instead of choosing a diamond only for appearance, you are creating one from material connected to a person, pet, relationship, or moment that matters to you.

Diamond growth usually takes 40–120 days, depending on the diamond size and growth requirements.

If you choose a jewelry setting, please allow extra time for design, production, and setting. We will give you a clearer timeline based on your order.

Yes. We provide updates at key stages.

These may include material receipt, preparation, diamond growth, cutting, polishing, jewelry setting, and final delivery. If you have a question during the process, you can contact us anytime.

Each order is recorded and handled according to your order details.

Your material is received, labeled, prepared, and processed as part of your individual order. This helps keep the journey organized and gives you confidence throughout the process.

We track your material through order records, material intake, preparation, and process updates.

A gem certificate can confirm the finished stone is a diamond, but it cannot prove the emotional origin of the carbon. That is why careful handling, documentation, and communication are important from the beginning.

You can choose from the available carat sizes on the product page.

If you are not sure which size is right, contact us and we can help you compare options based on budget, design, and how you plan to wear or keep the diamond.

Available colors may include colorless, yellow, blue, pink, or green.

Some colors may take longer or cost more because they require different growth or treatment conditions. Availability may depend on the diamond size and order details.

PS：Stones weighing 1 carat or more can be made into colored gemstones.

Common cuts include round, princess, emerald, oval, pear, and heart.

Availability may depend on the diamond size, color, and final design. If you want a specific shape, please confirm before ordering.

Yes. You can order the diamond without a jewelry setting.

Some customers keep the diamond as a standalone keepsake. Others choose a setting later or work with their own jeweler.

Yes. A deposit may be required to begin your order.

The deposit helps confirm your order and start the material collection process. The next steps will be confirmed before the process begins.

Changes may be possible early in the process, but once carbon preparation, diamond growth, or cutting has begun, the ability to make changes may be limited. If you need to make changes, please contact us as soon as possible.

Yes, but specific shipping details depend on the policies of your country or region. If you have any questions about international shipping, customs clearance, or shipping methods, please contact us before placing your order.

Yes. You don’t need to send the materials immediately after placing your order. Please make sure the materials are clearly labeled and include the correct order information. This will help us match them to your order when we receive them.

Since these materials are personal items and are often irreplaceable, please avoid using shipping methods that cannot be tracked. Please keep your tracking number in a safe place until the package has been safely delivered.
