Italian dad turns son’s remains into diamond

The young son,killed in a car crash earlier this year,had already been buried in his hometown of Treviso,in northern Italy,when his 55-year-old dad came up with the

idea.

Remembrance diamonds’ are created by filtering and refining the carbon found in cremated ashes,then secured in a chamber,where intense pressure and a temperature similar to that of a volcano are applied,creating a synthetic diamond,’The Local’ reported.

The process can cost as much as USD 18,000,according to ‘New York Daily News’.

The father recently received the synthetic ‘Remembrance Diamond’ after an eight-month weight.
