Diamonds Made From Human Hair, Dog Fur and Cremated Ashes

— March 14, 2007 — Unique
Now you can have your own hair, your puppy dog's fur or your ex-love's cremated ashes preserved in everlasting form: Have it made into a diamond.

A company in Russia will create a red, yellow or green diamond from a whole variety of interesting substances.

Implications - New Age Diamonds will transform the organic materials you give them into individually customized diamonds. The process requires about one gram's worth of the material of your choice to be combined with carbon. From there they place the mixture in their HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) machine. Once all the steps are completed you are left with an actual diamond that has your DNA within it.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Organic Diamonds - New Age Diamonds offers the opportunity to transform organic materials into individually customized diamonds, creating a trend of personalized jewelry with sentimental value.
2. Alternative Diamond Sources - The use of human hair, dog fur, and cremated ashes as materials for diamond creation signals a trend towards alternative and sustainable sources for jewelry production.
3. High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) Technology - The use of HPHT machines to create diamonds from unconventional materials presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the diamond industry, potentially revolutionizing the way diamonds are manufactured and sourced.
Industry Implications
1. Jewelry - The personalized diamond trend opens up opportunities for the jewelry industry to offer unique, sentimental pieces that resonate with customers on a personal level.
2. Sustainable Materials - The use of alternative sources for diamond creation provides opportunities for sustainable material suppliers to enter the jewelry industry and cater to eco-conscious consumers.
3. Technology Manufacturing - Companies specializing in HPHT technology can capitalize on the disruptive innovation opportunity in the diamond industry by offering advanced machines for diamond creation from unconventional materials.
