Their ashes, your diamonds


Another interesting way to adorn jewelry is to turn your pet's ashes into wearable gems created using the carbon taken from their remains using the same process that creates naturally occurring diamonds. As noted on ecouterre.com several companies are offering previous pet owners this opportunity, including DNA2Diamonds. You can even have a piece created from a single strand of hair (possibly to celebrate an anniversary, engagement, or wedding. This trend for preserving a pet's memory is said to be gaining popularity in Japan and is 'environmentally responsible.' The pieces are made in a lab and start at about $3000. If I had the money, I would definitely consider this. If they weren't so expensive, I think the U.S. might begin transforming their pet's ashes too.
