Heart In Diamond can grow a laboratory-grown memorial diamond from a pet’s ashes or fur. You can choose its color, carat range and cut, then decide whether to keep it loose or set it in jewelry. The US price sheet shows the current diamond options.
The loss of a pet can feel like the loss of a family member. You may be wondering what to do with your pet’s ashes, or you may not be ready to decide. People respond differently, and there is no set sequence of grief to follow. Other pets in the household may behave differently after a companion dies, too.
Heart In Diamond turns pet ashes to diamonds and cremation jewelry
Some people bury a pet or keep the ashes in an urn. Others choose cremation because they would like to share the ashes among family members or keep a small portion for a memorial diamond. There is no need to decide on jewelry as soon as your pet dies; you can ask about the process when you are ready.
A memorial diamond can be made from the ashes or fur of a dog, cat, rabbit or another pet, subject to the material being suitable. You can keep the diamond loose or choose pet memorial jewelry. The species does not determine whether a memory deserves a place in your home or family story.

Examples of Memorial Diamonds From Pets
Diamonds from cats, dogs and other pets
If your cat has died, you may have a favorite photograph, a collar, fur or ashes to keep. A diamond is one possible way to use a small portion of the material; it does not replace those other reminders.

For a dog, a walk, a familiar place or a daily routine may be what you remember most. If you would like to wear a reminder, a diamond grown from ashes or fur can be set in memorial jewelry.
Choosing a pet memorial diamond
Current US colors are yellow (from orange-yellow to yellow-green), blue, pink, purple, black and white. The finished shade can vary within the chosen range; the color guide shows examples of each option.
If you are unsure about color, carat range or material, our US team can answer those practical questions before you order. You can also take time to decide whether a loose diamond or a setting would suit you better.
From your pet’s material to a finished diamond
After your pet’s cremation, you can choose a diamond color, carat range and cut. Some people choose a color that reminds them of a particular place or animal; others simply choose the shade they like. Our team can explain the options, including the range of shades within each color.
The Heart In Diamond consultant will then help you to decide which cut and carat fits the image of how you want to commemorate your pet. Once you have made these decisions you will then decide on the best setting to store the diamond.
A setting can come in the form of a pendant, earrings or ring. Here are few examples as provided by Heart In Diamond.
For a US order, we request 100 grams of pet ashes or 2 grams of fur. If you have less, or would like to include more than one source of material, ask us before sending it so we can explain the options for your sample. The rough diamond is cut and polished, then prepared for delivery. Diamond production takes around 90 days from receipt of your material. Jewelry settings and other optional services can add time.
The color guide shows the shade range for yellow, blue, pink, purple, black and white diamonds. Photographs illustrate possible colors; the finished shade can vary within the chosen range.
Creating a pet memorial
Remembering a pet
When a pet dies, friends and family may not know what to say. Some people find the loss as difficult to talk about as the death of a person, especially when a pet was part of everyday family life.
If people around you do not recognize that loss, talking about your pet can feel difficult. You may want to share a photograph or a story, or simply keep a reminder nearby. There is no required way to respond.
Pet memorials take many forms: a video tribute, an urn on a shelf, a marker in the yard, or a diamond grown from a portion of ashes or fur. You can choose one, combine several, or wait until you know what feels right for your family.
Created from the ashes of a cremated pet, memorial diamonds capture the essence of a beloved pet. Heart In Diamond grows laboratory diamonds using carbon prepared from a pet’s hair or ashes and a diamond seed. The laboratory uses high pressure and temperature; natural gem diamonds form far below Earth’s surface, in the mantle. These laboratory-grown diamonds are personal because the order begins with material you chose to provide from your pet.
A unique twist to these memorial diamonds is that pet owners can combine their own hair with their pets to symbolize their forever bond. Having lost a pet, owners can now create their own memorial and proudly wear these beautiful gems as a symbol of a transcendent love. Even though they may be grieving without the support of their friends, family, and co-workers, choosing a memorial can be meaningful for some pet owners. At the same time, they are able reflect on the happier moments of their pet’s life as they wear their personal diamond set in a ring, a pendant, or earrings. These cherished memorial diamonds will forever enable pet owners to hold on to the love of their faithful companion and have them with them always.

Pet memories
