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.
