DNA2Diamonds - Booth #238

DNA2Diamonds creates certified, custom diamonds from a lock of hair or cremation ashes to celebrate life, embrace love and cherish memories for generations to come. More beautiful, more meaningful, more precious than any other jewel and individually unique as the lives they mirror. Breathtaking. Irreplaceable. Priceless.

In Victorian times, it was common for family members to ease the pain of loss by wearing jewelry containing locks of hair from the deceased. DNA2Diamonds has reinvented this tradition of centuries past. But DNA2Diamonds are different because they forever contain the essence of a loved one or beloved pet.

In nature, it takes millennia to create a diamond; in our laboratory, it takes less than 70 days to create a DNA2Diamond that is GIA-certified to be physically, chemically and optically identical to earth-mined diamonds. And our process is environmentally-friendly and conflict free.
