Custom Diamonds in Singapore: how the main services compare — Algordanza, LONITÉ (Leonité), EverDear — and why Together Diamonds stands out

The market for custom, sentimental diamonds — diamonds grown from hair, fur or cremation ashes — has grown quickly worldwide and in Singapore. Several international brands have local representation or marketing here, and each takes a slightly different approach to process, price, lead time and proof of provenance. If you’re considering a personalised diamond (for an engagement, anniversary, memorial or family heirloom), here’s a clear, practical guide to the main providers you’ll see in Singapore — and how Together Diamonds compares.

 

Quick summary (TL;DR)

• Algordanza — Swiss brand, positions itself on provenance (claims diamonds made from 100% of the provided material), established pricing tiers. algordanza.com+1

• LONITÉ (Leonité) — Swiss / international provider offering hair & ashes diamonds, GIA-certified options. LONITÉ - Official USlonite.com.sg

• EverDear / Everdear — aggressive low-price player with global footprint and GIA offers; markets fast growth and low starting prices. everdear.co+1

• Together Diamonds — local, market-disrupting option: most affordable positioning, fastest standard lead time (3 months), industry-unique full-process video transparency, proprietary tech & scale to guarantee quality (access to many HPHT machines), and a quality-focused approach using customer carbon blended with pure carbon for stability.

 

Who’s who: provider profiles

Algordanza

• What they do: A Swiss company focused on memorial diamonds — turning ashes or hair into diamonds. Algordanza emphasizes provenance and authenticity, stating they create diamonds from 100% of the provided ashes/hair (no added carbon). algordanza.com

• Pricing & positioning: Published pricing (example: from ~US$2,999 for a 0.30 ct rough) and tiered choices for cut/size; sold through funeral homes and directly. They position themselves as a premium, provenance-first provider. algordanza.com

LONITÉ (sometimes marketed as Leonité / LONITÉ)

• What they do: LONITÉ offers ashes/hair-to-diamond services with an emphasis on certified diamonds (promotes GIA certification). Their site and regional pages position them as a premium European/Swiss provider. LONITÉ - Official USlonite.com.sg

EverDear (Everdear)

• What they do: A global provider that markets aggressive pricing and proprietary HPHT improvements. They advertise very low entry prices (e.g., figures shown online often under US$1,500 for small carat sizes) and claim GIA certification is possible. EverDear promotes fast growth and “best price” positioning. everdear.co+1

Note: Pricing and lead times vary across providers and depend heavily on diamond size, colour, cut, and optional certification. Always confirm the latest prices and delivery windows directly with the company.

What customers usually care about — and how the brands respond

1. Authenticity / provenance

   • Algordanza prominently markets that their diamonds are made from 100% of the provided material (no added carbon), which appeals strongly to families wanting purity of origin. algordanza.com

   • EverDear and LONITÉ focus more on scale, certification and price options; origin messaging is still present but differently framed. LONITÉ - Official USeverdear.co
     
     

2. Price & accessibility

   • Algordanza and LONITÉ typically price higher, framed as premium memorial services. algordanza.comLONITÉ - Official US
     
     

   • EverDear is the price disruptor, advertising very low entry prices. everdear.co

   • Together Diamonds comes in with an even lower price despite more service offerings.
     
     

3. Speed / lead time

   • Many traditional providers can have long lead times (often 6–12 months or more) depending on colour, certification and lab schedules. algordanza.com

   • Together Diamonds positions speed (3 months) as a major differentiator — useful when families or celebrants want faster turnaround.

4. Transparency & trust

   • The ability to see every step (video evidence) is increasingly important for customers. Most providers do not advertise full-process video for every order; Together Diamonds makes this a formal USP to build trust.

5. Quality & certification

   • GIA or other gem labs’ certificates are commonly requested; several providers offer certification options. LONITÉ - Official USeverdear.co

   • Together Diamonds offers free IGI certifications and stresses quality via scale (access to many state-of-the-art HPHT machines), proprietary processes and the blending methods to guarantee structural integrity and gem quality.

 

Where Together Diamonds stands out (why pick us)

If you’re evaluating options, here are the concrete reasons many customers choose Together Diamonds:

1. Price competitiveness — We position ourselves as the most affordable option without compromising on gem quality. (We achieve cost efficiencies through scale partnerships and optimized HPHT processes.)

2. Industry-fast lead time — Standard turnaround at ~3 months, allowing families and couples to receive diamonds quickly (useful for engagements, anniversaries or memorial timings).

3. Full process transparency — We are the only provider that videos the entire creation process for every customer, so you have verifiable proof of how your diamond was made. This reduces concerns about provenance and builds confidence.

4. Quality-first approach — We use customer carbon (hair, fur, ashes) combined with high-purity carbon when needed to ensure the structural stability and polishability of the crystal — delivering consistently beautiful results. This hybrid approach balances authenticity with top-tier gem quality.

5. Scale + technology — Our partnerships give us access to significant HPHT capacity (hundreds of machines) and experienced labs, which means we can guarantee material quality while keeping prices accessible.

6. Flexible, occasion-inclusive positioning — We intentionally craft messaging that works for joyful milestones (engagements, anniversaries, family heirlooms) and for memorial purposes — so customers seeking celebratory gifts won’t be put off while memorial clients still find the service appropriate and dignified.

 

Choosing the right provider — practical advice

• If provenance (100% origin) is your highest priority, carefully review provider claims and documentation. Algordanza advertises 100% origin; confirm chain-of-custody and lab procedures directly. algordanza.com

• If price is the primary concern, EverDear is positioned as the low-cost option — but always verify certification, sample images and customer reviews. everdear.co

• If you want speed + transparency + certified quality without a large premium, Together Diamonds aims to deliver that middle ground: lowest cost, verifiable process videos, fast delivery, and robust quality controls.

• Ask about certification (GIA, IGI, or equivalent), sample videos or photos of finished stones, and a clear timeline in writing before committing.

Final thoughts

The ashes/hair-to-diamond market has evolved rapidly: some brands emphasise provenance, others scale and price, while a few combine both. Which provider is “best” depends on what matters most to you — absolute origin purity, lowest price, speed, or transparency.

Together Diamonds positions itself as the practical, trust-first choice for most customers: accessible pricing, fast delivery (3 months), provable transparency (process videos for every order), and lab partnerships that ensure quality. If you want a diamond that balances emotional authenticity with consistent gem quality — and you want to see the process for yourself — Together Diamonds was designed exactly for that.
