Gemstones from Ashes and Hair
We transform hair or ashes into personalized gemstones—at MEVISTO, the gemstone manufactory, we make memories tangible. Using a globally unique and scientifically verified process, we extract elements from ashes or hair and craft them into personalized rubies and sapphires.
A memorial stone is a beautiful way to keep a loved one close forever. Whether set in a wedding ring or as a tribute to a departed loved one:
... eternally connected, eternally united... For personalized gemstones, we require 10g of hair or 50-100g of ashes.
You can also carry your beloved pet with you forever by creating a memorial gemstone from pet ashes or fur.
Gemstone Burial – A Unique Remembrance
Gemstone burial, also known as stone burial, is a compassionate alternative to traditional burial. In this process, a portion of the cremation ashes or hair of the deceased is used to create a personalized gemstone such as a ruby or sapphire. Since not only ashes but also hair can be used, both urn and earth burials are possible.
The process begins with cremation, after which 50 grams of ashes or 10 grams of hair are collected. This biogenic material is then sent directly to our manufactory in Austria. The unique chemical elements of the deceased are extracted and embedded into the crystal structure of the growing gemstone through a recognized manufacturing process under high temperatures.
The result is personalized rubies or sapphires that are unique in color and composition, reflecting the individuality of the deceased. These can be set into jewelry such as rings or pendants or kept in an elegant box.
Gemstone burial offers bereaved individuals the opportunity to honor their loved ones in a special way and keep them close at all times. It symbolizes appreciation, love, and connection and can be passed down as an everlasting family heirloom through generations. The personalized gemstones thus keep the memory alive.
This alternative form of burial allows memories to be preserved in a very personal and tangible way and thus represents a dignified alternative to traditional burial methods, but does not replace them.

Wedding Rings as a Symbol of Eternal Love
These wedding rings are a very special symbol. The united hair of the bridal couple represents an endless bond. They are a personal piece of jewelry for a shared life.
This ring is made from rose gold with a 2 ct. sapphire in a delicate shade of blue. The soft blue almost appears lilac. A memorial stone that suits every look and occasion and stands out from ordinary wedding rings.
Ich kann gar nicht ausdrücken, wie dankbar ich für diesen wundervollen Saphir meiner Seelenhündin bin. Es gibt doch kein beruhigenderes Gefühl, als seine Liebsten wortwörtlich für immer bei sich zu tragen. Seit sie wieder zuhause ist, kehrt Frieden in mir ein... Tausend Dank für eine lebenslange Erinnerung an meine Polly! Liebe Grüße, Patricia
