Vendor Spotlight from Iris Fields

In August, Iris Fields, a premier New York City and Miami based event planning firm founded by entrepreneurs Ariana Gordon & Melissa Raskin which produces Wedding, Milestone, Private & Non-Profit Events, featured DNA2Diamonds. Here's what they had to say:

As you’ve seen in our other blog postings Iris Fields is dedicated to finding eco-friendly ways to create the event or wedding of your dreams. Well a great first step in that direction is to purchase a conflict free diamond. Here you have two options: purchase certified conflict free natural diamonds or authentic lab created diamonds. There are now many vendors which provide this product to their eco-conscious clientele. However, this vendor provides a unique twist to this concept.

Each is a one-of-a-kind GIA-certified diamond that will forever hold the essence of your loved one. These diamonds are physically identical to earth mined diamonds. DNA2DIAMONDS are ideal for engagement and wedding rings, anniversary jewelry, as well as in the creation of other family heirlooms.

Turn Dead Pets into Diamond

As seen on www.EliteChoice.org.

Did you ever know that diamond can also be extracted literally from your deceased pet’s ashes or a lock of its hair? This is freaky and sounds very unbelievable. However, a company called DNA2Diamonds comes up with a weird way of creating this sparkling gem out of your deceased pet. This requires a long process though.

All you need to do is to submit a DNA sample of your deceased pet to the company. They will then go through a series of procedures such as; extracting carbon from the sample, adding the carbon to a real diamond seed, which is then placed to an incubator so that it grows. After going through all the necessary procedures, the stone is finally cut and is closely examined by the Gemological Institute of America before it is packaged and sent to you.

What’s even more surprising is that you can turn the remains of your pet into a red, yellow-green or cognac diamond. You can also have the stone set in a ring, bracelet, earring or pendant and choose the shape and carat size according to your choice. The whole thing still sounds weird and impossible. However, even if it’s true, one thing that is still skeptical is the quality of the diamond.

A company called DNA2Diamonds has unveiled it's latest fall collection which consists of many varieties of sparkling diamond jewelry. They may look like regular colored diamond rings, but there's a little twist. These diamonds, believe it or not, contain DNA extracted from the ashes or locks of hair of deceased pets.

Sounds far-fetched, right. Well the company claims that they have developed a process to do just that, creating sparkling gems that contain DNA extracted from your deceased pet. The process, which is a closely guarded secret, is quite complex and time consuming. However, the end result is a beautiful red, yellow-green or cognac diamond set in ring, bracelet, earring or pendant of your choice.

So, all you pet lovers out there. Here's a wonderful way to remember your dear loving pet once it has passed on.

From DNA to Diamonds

As seen on Jewelry.com, July 7th, 2009.

Receiving jewelry can often be an emotional experience - from diamond engagement rings to anniversary bands to a celebration of your own shining achievements. But a company named DNA2Diamonds is offering their customers an emotional connection to loved ones in an entirely different way.

Whether it's your beloved grandmother, your new set of twins or the cat you've had for 15 years, DNA2Diamonds can turn their DNA into a shining diamond you can wear forever. And fellas, take note. This could be a great way to add a little more incentive when popping the question.

The company uses the latest technology to extract the unique DNA carbon from a lock of hair or cremated ashes and turns it into a GIA-certified diamond within 70 days.

The gem is available in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, green or cognac and in any of these three popular diamond cuts: radiant, princess, and brilliant.

Prices range from $2,000 to as much as $18,000 and sizes start at 0.25 carats for those who want a little shimmer to 2 full carats for those who want a bigger statement.

While DNA2Diamonds might not be for everybody (can you imagine the thought of accidentally losing a loved one down the drain?), the service is a meaningful alternative to the more traditional urn in the case of those who are no longer with us, and - perhaps most importantly - ensures the memories of our loved ones will quite literally always be close to our hearts.
