At Together, we use cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship to transform hair or fur into authentic, IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds. Here's how our process works:
We require 2g-5g of hair/fur to create each diamond. Place it in a ziplock bag and label it with your full name.
2. Place your order
Online Place your order directly from our online shop. We will reach out to you within 12 hours after your order has been placed to give you the instructions on how to mail the hair/fur over to us.
Meet at our showroom Schedule an appointment with us and come by our showroom to choose the size and shape of the diamond you wish to create. You can have a look at our samples here to get a better gauge. We can also personally receive the hair/fur during your appointment.
3. Flown to our facility
Your order will be labelled with a unique order number and flown to our diamond lab. This unique order number is important as you will be able to see it as we document the process of turning the hair/fur into a diamond.
4. Carbon Extraction
The process then begins by carefully extracting carbon from the hair or fur provided. Hair and fur are rich in carbon, which serves as the foundational element for creating diamonds. This carbon is then purified to ensure it is free of impurities, preparing it for diamond formation.
5. The HPHT Process
Using the High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) method, the purified carbon is placed in a specialised growth chamber. Inside the chamber, conditions replicate those found deep within the Earth — with extreme pressure and temperatures exceeding 2000°C. Under these conditions, the carbon atoms bond together, crystallising into a rough diamond.
6. Cutting and Polishing
Once the rough diamond is formed, it undergoes expert cutting and polishing to achieve the desired shape and maximum brilliance. Whether it’s a timeless round cut or an elegant pear shape, our skilled craftsmen ensure every diamond meets our exacting quality standards.
7. Certification by IGI
For diamonds 0.50 carats and above, we partner with the International Gemological Institute (IGI) for certification. This ensures the diamond is independently assessed and graded for its colour, clarity, cut, and authenticity. While diamonds under 0.50 carats are not IGI-certified, they are crafted with the same precision and care to meet our high standards.
8. Setting
If you have selected a jewellery design from our shop, your diamond will then be set with the design you've chosen. After which, it will be sent back to our showroom.
9. Delivery
We will contact you after a quick processing time of 3 months when your diamond is ready to be collected. We provide complimentary delivery services with tracking code, or you can also choose to personally pick it up from our showroom for a quicker turnaround.
