Love, in the life you’re living.

Question 1

What is a living diamond?

Accepted Answer

A living diamond begins with hair. We extract and purify its carbon, then use it to grow a diamond. It can celebrate a relationship, a milestone, or a part of your own story.

Question 2

What could yours celebrate?

Accepted Answer

A wedding. A child’s first haircut. A life you are building together. Your reason can be as personal as the diamond itself.

Question 3

What to send

Accepted Answer

Human hair: about 10 grams. For a diamond made from hair, this is the standard amount we ask for. Pet fur: about one cup. A living pet can be part of your diamond, too. These amounts apply to each material on its own. A blend needs its own collection guidance.

Question 4

Can we combine our hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hair from more than one person can be combined. If you have other materials in mind, discuss your plans with our team before collecting or sending anything. The combination and amount to send depend on your plans. Our team can help you prepare a blend before you collect or send it.

Question 5

Do we need to decide everything now?

Accepted Answer

You can begin by understanding the materials and exploring the choices. Think about whose hair you want to include, what the diamond will celebrate, and how you might wear it.

Question 6

A diamond from both of them

Accepted Answer

For their wedding, Adelle and James chose to bring their hair together in matching diamonds. Each diamond began with a part of both of them. Their story is one way to think about a living diamond: a symbol of the relationship you are already creating.

Question 7

What would make it yours?

Accepted Answer

Whose hair would you include? Is there a moment you want to mark? Would you wear it every day, or bring it out for occasions that matter? Those answers can help guide your choices of color, shape and setting.

Question 8

A first haircut, kept differently

Accepted Answer

For Khurram and Sarah, Imani’s first haircut became the beginning of a diamond. They chose it to celebrate the milestones of her first year. A living diamond can begin with a moment like this: small in your hand, and full of meaning to your family.

Question 9

If you have saved only a little

Accepted Answer

Our standard request for human hair is about 10 grams. If you have a smaller keepsake, talk with our team before sending it so they can review what is possible. You can ask about blending it with hair from other family members. Our team can confirm the amount to send for the blend you have in mind.

Question 10

How hair becomes a diamond

Accepted Answer

1. Prepare the carbon. Carbon is extracted from hair and purified. 2. Grow the diamond. High pressure and high temperature allow carbon to crystallize on a diamond seed. 3. Cut and finish. The rough diamond is cut and polished into its finished form.

Question 11

Color, shape and the way you wear it

Accepted Answer

Explore the color and shape that feel right for you. Think about the jewelry you already love, and whether your diamond will be an everyday piece or mark special occasions. If you choose Eterneva to set your diamond, the jewelry setting is sold separately.

Question 12

Talk it through, at your pace

Accepted Answer

Bring your questions about hair, blending, diamond choices or jewelry. A conversation can begin with the idea you have, even if you do not have every detail decided.
