The PUREdiamond made from hair: a unique keepsake
Carbon is the stuff of life and is found in all substances that grow in nature. This includes human and animal hair. We use this hair to produce diamonds according to your wishes, as a memento and a symbol of connection.
Hair as a source of carbon has the advantage that it can also be used to create a unique memento during the four-legged friend’s lifetime. As pet owners and animal lovers, our team knows that in addition to experience and knowledge, empathy is also important in this area. Take advantage of our expertise as experts in our field and as people and animal lovers.
Since 2006, we have specialized in the production of diamonds from animal body elements, making us one of the most experienced providers of this special service. Feel free to contact us about the many possibilities for customizing diamonds made from hair.
We create your diamond from animal hair in these 5 steps
- Get in touch with us. We would like to provide you with undisturbed, individual and detailed advice. It therefore makes sense to make an appointment for the information meeting by telephone or e-mail first. That way we can prepare ourselves and have time for you.
- During the consultation, we clarify your wishes for the diamond and help you fill out the order form.
- For a PUREdiamond made from hair, we require at least 5 grams of hair or feathers from your beloved pet. We will discuss the details of how to send us the carbon carrier with you.
- After receiving a deposit, we begin the initial analyses in our laboratory, extract the carbon from the source, convert the carbon into graphite and finally place it in a growth cell, where the PUREdiamond is created.
- It usually takes us 4 to 8 months to deliver the PUREdiamond. We will present you with the PUREdiamond as your personal memento, along with a certificate documenting the most important steps in the process. We guarantee that the diamond made from your beloved pet’s hair is 100 per cent carbon from your pet.
The versatile options for customising your PUREdiamond
The price of your PUREdiamond is determined by the individual design options you choose. Don’t rush into anything; take your time to consider how you would like your diamond made from hair to be designed. Ultimately, it is also a question of budget. The following factors influence the price and also determine your options for designing the gemstone.
You decide on,
- What size should the diamond made from hair be? The smallest brilliant-cut version weighs 0.25 carats. This corresponds to a diameter of approx. 4.1 mm. The medium size is 0.50 carats with a diameter of approx. 5.2 mm. The largest PUREdiamond weighs 1.00 carats and, with a diameter of approx. 6.4 mm, is a real eye-catcher.
- What basic colour should the diamond made from hair have? We can produce yellow, blue and white diamonds for you, although slight colour variations may occur in white PUREdiamonds. The colouring is created by incorporating a few individual elements into the diamond crystal lattice. A yellow diamond is created by incorporating nitrogen atoms into the crystal lattice. A blue shimmer is created by incorporating boron atoms.
- Whether you want to hold the gemstone in your hands as a polished rough diamond or cut as a brilliant or emerald, we offer all standard diamond cuts. We entrust the delicate craft of cutting only to partners with whom we have worked trustingly for many years.
- whether we should refine the diamond made from hair with an engraving.
Diamond made from animal hair: 5 grams is enough for individual creation
At least 5 grams of animal hair from the coat or plumage is sufficient for the growth of a diamond from animal hair. If you are unable to provide this amount, please send us human hair. This combination will result in a PUREdiamond as a sign of your bond with your four-legged friend. In principle, any organic material containing carbon can be used, including certain toys or collars.
