A memorial diamond can be created using ashes or hair from a much-loved pet. You may keep the finished stone loose or choose a ring or pendant that reminds you of the time you shared.
Remembering a dog or cat
For many people, a dog or cat is part of the family. A diamond is one way to keep that bond close. Some people select a colour that recalls a pet's eyes or personality. Others prefer a quiet white stone or a design that does not need explaining to anyone else.
For a standard order, we ask for 100 g of ashes or 2 g of hair or fur. If you have less, ask our New Zealand team to assess the material before sending it. We will explain how your sample is handled and whether unused material can be returned.
Other animals and different keepsakes
The same conversation can begin with a rabbit, bird, horse or another companion animal. What matters first is the material you have and the design you would like. A personal diamond is different from a small urn or a glass keepsake that encloses ashes; if you are comparing these options, we can explain exactly what Heart In Diamond makes.
Choosing colour, size and jewellery
We will confirm the currently available carat ranges and cuts when you enquire. The colour guide shows yellow, blue, pink, purple, black and white families, including variation within a chosen colour. If you would like to wear the stone, explore our finished diamond and jewellery photographs and the current jewellery catalogue.
Diamond creation usually takes around 90 days after suitable material arrives. Settings and other options can add time. The ordering guide explains how we register material and keep you informed.
