The elements of which our four-legged friends essentially consists of are the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca). The proportion by weight of carbon in an animal organism is approx. 21% in a mammal. <\/p>

All other elements, such as phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, chlorine, sodium and magnesium, are only present in trace amounts in the body:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Under the brand name Semper Fides, we create memorial diamonds, called PUREdiamonds, from an animal companion’s ashes, hair or feathers.<\/p>

The PUREdiamond is made exclusively from the carbon source you provide us whether from your dog, cat, horse, bird or…<\/p>

A PUREdiamond is guaranteed to be produced without the addition of additives or the addition of carbon or graphite
.<\/p>

If you wish, the PUREdiamond can be produced from several carbon sources supplied by you.
Please contact us directly in these cases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We need at least 5 to 10 grams of hair or feathers or 300 grams of ash.<\/p>

If you do not have 5 grams of hair or feathers or 300 grams of ash (equivalent to about 10 kilograms of live weight), there are various ways to realize the growth of your PUREdiamond:<\/p>
