LONITÉ’s story debuted in a small town near the Alps, at a 25 minutes train ride from the economic capital of Zürich, in central Switzerland. The company name - Lonité, originates from the word ‘Longévité’ in Swiss French, which translates to - to last in time. Diamonds after death is one aspect of this idea. The founders of LONITÉ are all leaders in the diverse fields of expertise required to turn hair or cremation ashes into diamonds . They have years of experience in the jewellery trade, the gemmology field, the funeral business, conducting scientific research and creating beautiful diamonds in laboratory. Together they have the blend of skills required in making cremation diamonds out of ashes or hair. At first only very small amber and blue diamonds could be created. Today, advancements in the lab-made diamonds technology have changed all that. Now, cremation diamonds from ashes are available through LONITÉ in larger sizes and more beautiful colours. Your memorial diamond can reflect your departed loved one's personality and Life so you can carry them with you forever. LONITÉ can also on your request, custom-design a jewelry ring, a pendant or a pair of earrings around your unique cremation diamond.
