2.Description of the Services
2.1. Definitions.
2.1.1. Carbon - is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent — making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. This non-metal also has the interesting chemical property of being able to bond with itself and a wide variety of other elements, forming nearly ten million known compounds. Carbon is a unique element for many reasons. Its different forms include the hardest naturally occurring substance (diamond) and one of the softest substances (graphite) known. Carbon is the 15th most abundant element on Earth and the 4th most abundant element the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon's abundance, its unique diversity of organic compounds, and its unusual ability to form polymers at the temperatures commonly encountered on Earth enables this element to serve as a common element of all known life-carbon occurs in all organic life and is the basis of organic chemistry. It is the second most abundant element in the human body by mass (about 18.5%) after oxygen.
2.1.2. Personal carbon sample - any organic sample material containing carbon which you provide to us for creation of your InfiniteDiamond®. In principle graphite can be extracted from any biomaterial, be it flowers or even a lock of hair, and for those looking for a more particular significance of the source – cremation ashes are also a valid source, and thus can serve as a source in order to form a crystal structure of a diamond. Obtaining of graphite from organic materials at EcoDiamond is carried under one roof to ensure not only vast quality control, but also reduces the overall production time of the diamond, as well as allowing the customization of the experience from the very beginning to each customer.
2.1.3. Carbon content testing - The determination of the carbon content in organic samples using visible-near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy, which can quickly predict carbon content (%) in your personal carbon sample. Such carbon content testing is performed by the independent laboratory not at the TheDiamonds premises.
2.1.4. Graphite is a crystalline form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure. It occurs naturally in this form and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Under high pressures and temperatures we can convert it to diamond.
2.1.5. Infinite Graphite™ technology - the technology owned and used by TheDiamonds in order to extract carbon from the personal carbon sample you provide to us, as well as transform the extracted carbon into one of its allotrope form - graphite. Personal carbon sample material processing can vary depending on the sample type and specifics, but the main steps include: Mechanical treatment of the carbon sample material, Thermal treatment, Purification of carbon, Graphitization.
2.1.6. InfiniteDiamond® technology - the High pressure and High temperature technology owned and used by TheDiamond in order to grow your InfiniteDiamond® as a material for it using graphite obtained from your personal carbon sample material with Infinite Graphite™ technology.
2.1.7. Diamond is a well-known allotrope of carbon. The hardness and high dispersion of light of diamond make it useful for both industrial applications and jewelry. Diamond is the hardest known natural mineral. No known naturally occurring substance can cut (or even scratch) a diamond, except another diamond.
2.1.8. Memorial diamond that is produced in a controlled technological process. In July 2018, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) amended the definition of polished diamonds removing from it the word “natural”: "Technological advances have made it possible to create diamonds in a laboratory. These stones have essentially the same optical, physical and chemical properties as mined diamonds. Thus, they are diamonds. Prior to the FTC decision, the origin of diamond was such a parameter - only what was mined from the bowels of the earth was considered real diamond.
2.1.9. Memorial diamond is defined as lab-grown diamond crystal grown from high purity crystalline bio-graphite extracted from natural sourced materials such as by example cremation ashes (human or animals remains), human hair, animal fur, flowers, plants & herbs and etc.
2.1.10. InfiniteDiamond® is the trademark of memorial diamonds created by GE FAM GmbH.
2.1.11. The® is the trademark of InfiniteDiamond® creation services created and provided by TheDiamonds.
2.1.12. The InfiniteDiamond® creation services include the following features and functions related to InfiniteDiamond® creation process:
Pre-growing InfiniteDiamond® processing - TheDiamonds can extract carbon from your personal carbon sample you provide to us and transform it into graphite necessary for creation of your InfiniteDiamond®. It can be done exploiting Infinite Graphite™ technology, created and owned by TheDiamonds.
The InfiniteDiamond® growing process – TheDiamonds can naturally grow colorless, blue and yellow diamonds using graphite obtained from your personal carbon sample. It can be done exploiting Infinite diamond growing technology, created and owned by TheDiamonds.
Post–growing InfiniteDiamond® processing: If you choose so TheDiamonds can treat your diamond color and make them black, red, pink or green using irradiation treatment, as well as pre-shape and pre-cut your diamond, make a final polishing or set it into custom made jewelry setting. While most of these services are provided directly by TheDiamonds, the third parties with which TheDiamonds is partnering (“Partners”) - by example Muller & Sons BV (Belgium) provides a final polishing of your InfiniteDiamond®.
2.1.13. TheDiamonds software platform. In order to maintain a full InfiniteDiamond® creation process transparency TheDiamonds hosts a software platform (TheDiamonds Platform”) where you may get acquainted with every single step of your personal InfiniteDiamond® creation process and follow it online via your Private Space Order Tracking page on this platform.

8.1. Contracts shall be performed by TheDiamonds in the best possible conditions in accordance with the current state of the art of infinite diamond growing technology in use by TheDiamonds at the time of the processing. As research progresses and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, TheDiamonds is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for you. The InfiniteDiamond® creation process shall be provided with a commercially reasonable degree of care. However, TheDiamonds cannot warrant that every infinite diamond creation process shall in all cases be successful as each InfiniteDiamond® product shall relate exclusively to the personal carbon sample provided by you. So you must understand that our processing possibilities are limited by the quantity and quality of personal carbon sample material you provide to us. TheDiamonds shall have no liability should it emerge that the personal carbon sample material is insufficient or inappropriate to make your InfiniteDiamond®.
8.2. In case the provided personal carbon sample is anything except the cremation ashes, the order of independent testing is optional but highly recommended. If you are not sure about the carbon presence in your personal carbon sample material you want to use in your InfiniteDiamond® creation process, you can rather contact us or choose the option - carbon content testing. It will bring additional cost approximately EUR 150 to your order, is performed by the independent laboratory not at the TheDiamonds premises, but at the same time it will preserve you from covering the costs of graphitization if the carbon content of your personal carbon sample will not be sufficient for the purpose of carrying out the Infinite diamond creation process.
8.3. In case the cremation ashes are your provided personal carbon sample material, our methodology requires confirmation of the carbon contents prior to any further sample processing. This step is necessary to certify samples of the ashes for its carbon content and therefore suitability of our technological process. This certification costs approximately EUR 150, is mandatory for this type of material (cremation ashes) and is performed by the independent laboratory not at the EcoDiamond premises. In fact, such testing will clear all you doubts that your InfiniteDiamond® might be not created of your provided material.
8.4. In the event that the result of the Carbon content testing reveals that production of Infinite diamond will not be possible or you have not chosen to make carbon content testing but the result of the graphitization process using Infinite Graphite technology reveals that your personal carbon sample does not contain enough carbon for production of Infinite diamond and the further processing is not impossible – you will have a choice to either receive a refund of the amount paid for the Service (In such a case you shall bear the costs which TheDiamonds has incurred until such point in time.) or provide us with another personal carbon sample. In that case we will try for a second time to extract sufficient carbon to carry out your Infinite diamond creation process. However, if it is not successful TheDiamonds shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract or to suspend the performance of the contract. In such a case you also shall bear the costs which TheDiamonds has incurred until such point in time.
8.5. If the graphitization process is successful, the diamond growing process can be started. You must always remember that the soul of Infinite diamond creation process lies within the carbon source you provide to us. The process of growing an Infinite diamond will be done using High temperature and high-pressure method and the core element of this cycle is based on the re-crystallization of carbon source. Carbon atoms from one form are rearranged into a different order thus creating one of the most magnificent material on the planet - diamond. Your InfiniteDiamond®.

13. Acceptance of your Infinite diamond
13.1. TheDiamonds guarantee that your infinite diamond will be of the ordered size, color and cut. However, due to the usage of your personal carbon sample material in the creation process of your infinite diamond, technological complicity of the HPHT infinite diamond growing process, the limited number of possible infinite diamond growing attempts (due to limited resources of graphite obtained from your sample material), TheDiamonds cannot guarantee that the clarity of your infinite diamond will be exactly the highest one. Instead, we guarantee that your infinite diamond will be fully eye-clean.
13.2. There isn’t a specific clarity grade that characterizes an eye-clean diamond. According to GIA diamonds that are considered Flawless (FL), Internally Flawless (IF), Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2) and Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2) are considered eye clean. On the other hand, Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2) diamonds may or may not be eye clean. Included (I1, I2 and I3) diamonds are considered non-eye clean. Eye-clean is an “unofficial” term which is used to describe a diamond when its inclusions can not be seen with the naked eye.
13.3. We guarantee that your infinite diamond will be eye-clean and as such it will not have any imperfections that would be visible to the naked eye. Under magnification, it may have some imperfections, but not when you look at it by yourself. But we can ensure you absolutely - with eye-clean infinite diamond, it should not bother you what inclusions and blemishes you can see under magnification. You or everyone else will not be looking at your infinite diamond through a jeweler’s loupe. At the end your goal is to have an infinite diamond that sparkles beautifully and at the same time is made using your provided personal carbon sample material.
13.4. You always can be sure that of course we will try to make the best possible option of your InfiniteDiamond®.
