According to the Chinatopix website reported on March 9, a special "diamond burial" culture is popular in Hong Kong. What is "diamond burial"? As the name implies, the diamond burial is to make the diamonds of the deceased into high-tech means of diamonds, in this way to replace the traditional tombs. This sounds a bit horrified, indeed, it seems to be a kind of embarrassment to the deceased. But think about it, why choose to put the ashes of your beloved in a cold casket instead of making it a dazzling diamond?
In fact, this incident did not sound so incredible, but it has been around for a long time. As early as 2001, a US company called LifeGem has turned it into reality.
LifeGem said that more than 5,000 people have made the dead lover's ashes into LifeGem Memorial Diamonds. LifeGem is headquartered in Chicago, and the company says that this beautiful "fired jewellery" is a unique way to commemorate the things that are left behind by the loved ones, and stay with them until day-to-day. - It is both a sustenance and a solace.
In Hong Kong today, among its 8 million citizens, the practice of making diamonds for the deceased has become popular because the city has fewer people, the tomb resources are seriously inadequate, and the traditional tombs are expensive.
The aging population of Hong Kong has caused the death toll in Hong Kong from 25,000 people 30 years ago to 43,000 in 2013. The director of a funeral home once complained that the funeral parlour was filled with 30,000 ashes filled with ashes, but nowhere to be buried.
For the loved ones of the deceased, the situation is even worse. From 2010 to 2014, the number of applicants for the ashes resettlement site has doubled to 23,235. The waiting time for the resettlement site has also become longer: from the past two and a half years to the current four and a half years.
More importantly, during the time when the ashes are waiting for resettlement, a family spends an average of 80 Hong Kong dollars per month to pay for parking fees and other miscellaneous expenses at the funeral home.
The Swiss company Algordanza has taken into account the current situation in Hong Kong and has become the largest ashes jewelry supplier in Hong Kong. Since its inception in Hong Kong, its branch in Hong Kong has been producing "recalling diamonds" for the public since 2008.
So how is this diamond made? Algordanza sent 200 grams of ashes to its laboratory in Switzerland, where the carbon in the ashes was extracted to 99% high purity and eventually refined into smooth black graphite. Then, the graphite will be put into the compressor, and after nine hours of high temperature and high pressure, a synthetic diamond will be born.
Because the body naturally contains boron, these ashes diamonds are not pure and transparent, but have a slight blue light.
Two years ago, it cost $3,000 to make a diamond of 0.25 carats, while Algordanza made the biggest diamond two carats, asking for $37,000.
Algordanza said that such prices make the diamonds competitive with Hong Kong's tomb market, as the price of Hong Kong tombs ranges from $2,000 to $200,000. The company also said that the company's turnover has doubled since its opening in Hong Kong in 2008, indicating that this "diamond burial" is being accepted by more people in Hong Kong.
