Since the foundation of LifeGem in 2001, LifeGem has received numerous requests regarding the personal need or wish to create a personal diamond for other occasions than the loss of a beloved person or pet. Besides the death of someone you love, other happenings in life are emotionally impressive as well and in that way are worth capturing and remembering.

Thanks to the possibility of using personal carbon extracted from a lock of hair, Lifegem is also able to offer a personal high quality diamond for these occasions. To keep and cherish a very personal and special memory to a very personal and special happening in life, such as:

- the birth of a child (hair from the baby or a combined lock of hair from the whole family)
- an engagement/wedding/bonded relationship
- or just to let him/her know that he/she is very special

LifeGem impressed the world in 2001 by announcing the opportunity to create a high-quality personal diamond by using personal carbon from cremated remains. As from that time stunning fancy blue and yellow LifeGem diamonds have found their way to thousands of relatives who wanted to keep their deceased loved one forever with them in a very unique and special way.
















At the end of 2006 LifeGem again has been able to -thanks to continous innovative process enhancements- announce a new high-end technical breakthrough. After offering the possibility to create a Lifegem Diamond using personal carbon from a lock of hair, the two new colours pink/red and green as well as the LifeGem Family Plan and higher carat ranges upto 2.00 carat, we are proud to announce that as from now also white/colourless LifeGem Diamonds can be offered.

THE LIFEGEM FAMILY PLAN
LifeGem has introduced the so called 'LifeGem Family Plan'. The LifeGem Family Plan provides a complete family the opportunity to become a LifeGem Diamond of their deceased loved one who has passed away.

The LifeGem Family Plan offers the opportunity to order 4 LifeGem diamonds at once of about 0.10 - 0.15 carats in weight each (yellow, pink/red and/or green). Depending in which European country you live the price per LifeGem Diamond from the LifeGem Familyplan will be approximately 1.500,- Euro including VAT and certification.



THE BEETHOVEN LIFEGEMS (R)
To showcase our newest technology, we are creating three LifeGem diamonds with the carbon from the hair of the world famous German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827). Each Beethoven LifeGem will be a certified, high quality diamond between 0.50 and 1.00 carat in size. The Beethoven LifeGem process began in May and will be completed Q1 - 2007.

These will be the only three diamonds ever created from Beethovens carbon and could be considered the three most rare and valuable diamonds in the world. After a worldwide tour of museums and opera houses, the Beethoven LifeGems will be auctioned online right here, and the proceeds will go to charity (creating LifeGem diamonds for underprivileged families).
