When we lose someone we love, we search for ways to keep their light near — not only in memory, but in form, color, and meaning.
At LONITÉ, each memorial diamond is created from the carbon found in your loved one’s ashes or hair, transforming their essence into a symbol of eternal love. Each diamond carries within it a story — a journey from loss to light, from memory to brilliance.
Among the many choices you’ll make in creating a memorial diamond, selecting its color is one of the most deeply personal. The hue you choose can mirror your loved one’s personality, your bond, or the emotion you want to carry forward. It becomes a way to keep their presence close, turning remembrance into something radiant and everlasting.
This article will help you discover the color that speaks to your heart — the one that makes your memorial diamond truly meaningful.

The Meaning of Color in Healing and Memory
Color is far more than visual beauty — it is the emotional language of the heart. Each hue evokes a feeling: some comfort and calm, others uplift and energize. When chosen thoughtfully, color becomes a bridge between the physical world and emotion — a reflection of how we wish to hold love in our hearts.
For those creating a memorial diamond, color carries profound significance. It can represent the peace you feel when you think of them, the joy they brought into your life, or the strength they left behind within you. While every hue carries its own symbolism, what matters most is the meaning it holds for you.
A Glimpse into the Seven Hues of Love and Remembrance
Every LONITÉ memorial diamond carries a natural hue that expresses a different facet of remembrance and emotion. According to
color psychology, here are the meanings of colors and the feelings they indicate:
Colorless – timeless purity and everlasting love.
Yellow – joy and warmth of cherished memories.
Blue – peace, loyalty, and calm remembrance.
Pink – tenderness, affection, and healing love.
Green – renewal, balance, and hope.
Red – courage, passion, and devotion.
Black – strength, dignity, and timeless elegance.
Each shade tells its own story, yet the most meaningful choice is not about color itself — it’s about connection. Choosing the right hue is about something far deeper: what feels most like them, and most true to you.
How to Choose the Color That Speaks to Your Heart
Choosing a memorial diamond color is not a matter of taste — it’s an act of love and remembrance. It’s about finding the hue that captures who they were, and how you want to keep them close.
Here are three ways to guide your heart as you choose.
Mirror Their Beautiful Details
Begin by thinking about the subtle details that made your loved one unique — the sights and colors that bring them instantly to mind.
Perhaps it’s:
The striking, comforting hue of their eyes, such as a deep, gentle blue—the exact color you loved to look into—or a warm, earthy amber that defined their gaze.
The beautiful tone of their hair—was it a rich, dark mahogany that absorbed the light, or a bright, golden blonde that always glinted in the sun?
The distinct color of a personal detail they cherished, like the vibrant ruby red of their favorite lipstick, the soft lilac of a signature piece of clothing, or the cool emerald green of a ring they always wore.
By choosing a similar color, your memorial diamond becomes a reflection of these precious details. It captures what words cannot describe — the small, familiar things that made them who they were.
In this way, every glance at the diamond becomes a quiet moment of recognition — a reflection of who they were and how they made the world feel.
2. Reflect on Their Spirit and Personality
You can also think beyond appearance. Consider the feeling of their presence — the spirit that defined their life.
Were they calm and thoughtful, like blue waters?
Warm and full of joy, like golden sunlight?
Gentle and kind, like soft pink petals?
Bold, passionate, and fearless, like the glow of red?
Grounded and nurturing, like the deep green of nature?
Or strong, dignified, and steady, like timeless black?
Choosing a color that embodies their energy makes your diamond not just a symbol of memory, but a portrait of the soul.
Color then becomes a way to express what it felt like to love them — not just how they looked, but the essence of their spirit that stays with you forever.
3. Consider the Emotion You Want to Keep Close
Turn inward. This choice is also about what you need — the feeling you want to carry as you heal.
Ask yourself:
Do you seek peace and acceptance (blue or colorless)?
Do you wish to hold onto warmth and optimism (yellow or pink)?
Do you need strength and courage to move forward (red or black)?
Or are you looking for renewal and harmony (green)?
There is no right or wrong color — only the one that feels right to your heart.
At LONITÉ, every memorial diamond’s shade is as unique as the person it represents. Because each stone is created from the carbon in your loved one’s ashes or hair, its final hue develops naturally from the trace elements within — no two are ever the same.
Your diamond’s color cannot be replicated. It is one-of-a-kind, just like the life it carries within. In this way, your memorial diamond isn’t simply chosen — it’s discovered, revealing its own hue as a reflection of the love and life it holds.
The Emotional Beauty of Wearing a Diamond with Meaning
Once your diamond is complete, setting it into jewelry allows you to carry that color — and your memories — into daily life. When worn, the diamond becomes a living presence: close to the heart, resting in your hands, or shining softly beside your face.
Each color finds its expression in a different form of jewelry:
Blue or Colorless Diamonds — Pendants for Serenity and Closeness → Resting near your heart, these colors bring comfort and calm, making you feel their presence each day.
Yellow or Pink Diamonds — Rings for Warmth and Affection → Rings capture love you can touch. Every movement reflects light, warmth, and cherished connection.
Green, Red, or Black Diamonds — Earrings for Strength and Renewal → Worn beside the face, these colors radiate confidence and quiet power, a symbol of resilience and remembrance.
Each LONITÉ memorial jewelry design is crafted to highlight the chosen hue, ensuring that the light you carry is seen, felt, and remembered every day.
A Reflection of Love — Your Story in Color
Choosing a color for your memorial diamond is not about fashion or preference — it’s about feeling. It’s about remembering love in the way it lived: through warmth, through peace, through strength.
Every LONITÉ memorial diamond is one-of-a-kind, formed through a union of nature, science, and love. No two are alike, because no two stories are alike. Each diamond shines with the individual light of the soul it carries.
When you find the color that feels right, you’re not just choosing a hue — you’re choosing the way your love will continue to shine.
