History

The technological beginnings of BIOS AG date back to the early 1950s, when scientists learned you can turn ashes into diamonds using High-Pressure High-Temperature anvils.

The founders of BIOS are all leaders in the diverse fields of expertise required to turn cremation ashes into diamonds . They have years of experience in the jewellery trade, the funeral business, conducting scientific research, and creating beautiful diamonds.
