According to the company’s ad, they remove your pet’s "unique DNA carbon" from a submitted fur sample, then turn it into a diamond seed, which starts the growth of your diamond. Over a few days, more carbon gathers on the seed, forming a man-made diamond. The jewels come in cognac, red and yellow-green, take 70 days or fewer to make, and cost between $2,000 and $18,000.  If you’re worried that the rest of your family might feel left out, don’t despair: You can send in tufts of multiple family members’ hair as well. The company will combine all of the samples into one jewel.

If you love your furry pet and can’t envision a world without Fido, Misty or Max, now there’s an alternative to getting it stuffed—or cloned. Just yank some fur from your pet's hide and send it to DNA2Diamonds, where a team will literally turn your dog’s carbon matter into a wearable diamond. According to the company’s ad, they remove your pet’s "unique DNA carbon" from a submitted fur sample, then turn it into a diamond seed, which starts the growth of your diamond. Over a few days, more carbon gathers on the seed, forming a man-made diamond. The jewels come in cognac, red and yellow-green, take 70 days or fewer to make, and cost between $2,000 and $18,000.
