We're Expanding our Distributor Network!

DNA2Diamonds, a premier creator of GIA-certified diamonds made from personal carbon, announced today that it’s expanding its distributor network.

“We are speaking with potential distributors every day. Some are jewelers looking for new and unique products to offer their clientele. Other interested parties are professionals in complimentary industries such as pets products, funeral and cremation services, and wedding service providers, who would like to expand their product offering and revenue opportunities to include commemorative, celebration and memorial diamonds,” said Tom Bischoff, President of DNA2Diamonds.

Unlike other companies, DNA2Diamonds is a full cycle company, providing a full cycle product, from inception, to creation, to the finished diamond. Because of this unique structure, DNA2Diamonds has been able to control costs and offer the highest quality and competitively priced laboratory grown diamonds on the market today.

"We offer a very unique product at a fraction of the cost. Our diamonds are personal and one-of-a-kind unlike any other diamond in the world,” said Bischoff.

DNA2Diamonds is now focusing on expanding its distributor network with a mix of retail and service providers but also individual sales representatives with contacts in complimentary industries.

DNA2Diamonds creates genuine, GIA-certified diamonds made from the signature carbon extracted from a lock of hair or cremated remains, in 70 days or less. DNA2Diamonds can be created in various styles, colors, and sizes, including Radiant, Princess or Brilliant cuts in sparkling colors of deep red, yellow-green, or cognac and in sizes ranging from 0.25 carats to 2.0 carats. These personal diamonds and can be set into a ring, bracelet, earrings or worn as a pendant. Prices start under $2,000 and range up to $18,000 depending upon the cut, size and color chosen.

Ring! Ring! Death’s calling!

There’s been a lot of death in the news lately which I find disturbing. I mean, I’m not exactly AFRAID of death, but I’m not inviting him to a dinner party anytime in the near future. It’s interesting to note that this rash of deaths has spawned a whole plethora of news articles on every possible aspect of ‘that moribund state.’

For example, from last week’s MSNBC.com: A company called DNA2Diamonds is offering to create sparkling gems from a deceased pet’s ashes or a lock of its hair. In just 70 days, they can turn what’s left of your beloved furball into a red, yellow-green or cognac diamond (you can choose the shape and carat size) and set the stone in a ring, bracelet, earring or pendant.

Wow. Fluffy is now a necklace. Who knew?

Sadly, in case you were thinking of getting a set of CZs made from your now deceased six cats, this ice doesn’t come cheap and can cost from $2,000 to $18,000 depending on the cut, size and color of the stone you pick.

Of course, if you’re slightly demented like me, you’re already moving on and wondering, “Yes, but . . . what about Granny? Can SHE be made into oh, say, a ruby? Something that might go with that wig she liked to wear?”

Well, just keep reading . . .

Though diamonds can also be made from human DNA, that’s not where the largest percentage of DNA2Diamonds’s business lies. “These diamonds last forever,” company president Bischoff tells PEOPLE Pets. “And we’re finding that even in a recession, creating a diamond in memory of a beloved pet continues to be our most popular option.”

When Hot Cop read the above article, he snorted and said, “That’s the dumbest thing that I’ve ever heard!”

I started to agree, but at about that same time, my sweet not-so-little Po dog lifted his head and gazed at me soulfully as if to say, “Why WOULDN’T you do that for me, Mommy?”

Ok, he doesn’t call me ‘Mommy.’ That’s silly. But he DOES gaze at me soulfully.

Seriously.

So tell me, would you consider making a memorial jewel when your dog/cat/parrot/granny goes to the great water dish/hair salon in the sky? Personally, I find ANY reason to acquire bling a VGT (Very Good Thing), even fake bling made from Doggie Remains. What do you think?

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.

Your deceased pet turned into a colored diamond???

Courtesy of BellaOnline - The Voice of Women.

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.
