Diamonds from Ashes
Pre-planning your Eterneva Diamond
It’s a conversation everyone should have. And our process gives you the peace of mind to know their next steps are taken care of.
A Lasting Gift & Memorial
The amount of decisions needed after someone you love passes can feel overwhelming, and many people choose to pre-plan to help those they love in their absence. The Eterneva Declaration of Will will help make your wishes known. Simply print and sign the document, and keep it with your important documents like your birth certificate. Let your family know where to find them. These are the first documents your family and funeral director will need in the event of your passing.
How it works
1
We’ll work with you to help sign your customer up and start the journey to turn their loved one into a diamond. We’ll send all the tools needed to collect the ashes or hair to start the journey.
2
Their ashes or hair will then be purified to isolate the carbon. As soon as we get their carbon back, you and their loved ones will get a first look with the Eterneva team at the sparkly material your ashes or hair have transformed into.
3
Their carbon will be put into a diamond growth cell and grown in the Eterneva diamond growth lab. All diamonds are grown individually, and you and their loved ones will get regular video updates of the entire growth journey.
4
Once their raw diamond has emerged, it’s time to cut, polish, color, grade, and set it in pieces they can carry with them into their next chapter.

Real reviews
This was the most amazing process. After speaking with Jacob, I was at ease with sending my child’s ashes to him. From the first day to the time I received the most perfect blue diamond, communication was the best. I was updated on every moment of change. Upon receiving my baby back, I was able to not only meet Jacob, but I got to meet Adelle and Garrett. I will never be able to thank them enough.
Adelle the owner was amazing! She made me feel secure with my decision and she made me feel like I was a part of the Eterneva family. And that my dad was in good hands. I am very grateful for Adelle and Eterneva family to welcome me and my dad Into the family. Thank you sooo much for everything! I love the diamond. I recommend Eterneva to everyone!
Garrett was so incredibly sensitive and caring throughout the entire diamond making process. I get to be close to my baby girl every day because of this amazing gift. It has made the passing of Lucy more bearable. Now, she truly is "Lucy in the sky with diamonds". Thank you to the entire team for all of your support and kindness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Ashes never expire. We have customers who send us ashes they have had for more than 20 years. The same is true with hair. If you have a lock of their hair at home, that also does not expire –– and we can use it to create a memorial Diamond.
Yes, there is a lot of carbon in hair! B&B Labs, a leading analytical chemistry lab in College Station, found that hair contains upwards of 30% carbon. We only need a healthy handful of hair to extract enough personal carbon to grow a Diamond.
Yes, there is absolutely carbon left in ashes. B&B Labs, a leading analytical chemistry lab in College Station, found that cremated remains contain 1-4% carbon depending on the age of the person, their diet, and other factors.
Eterneva is the only memorial Diamond company to offer third-party ashes analysis for customers curious about their loved one's carbon makeup.
We always extract extra carbon from ashes and store it securely onsite with your permission, so if ever you want to have additional Diamonds made or lose your Diamond, we can grow you another one. We encourage you to insure your Diamond so that you do not incur any additional cost for the replacement.
