Diamonds Made From Human Hair

A company in Russia called New Age Diamonds is offering to make a cultured diamond using the hair on your head.

With a handful of your hair (approx 1 gram's worth), they combine it with carbon and run it through their HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) machine. The result is a real, actual, diamond, made from your DNA.

The thing is that they don't offer clear diamonds, only yellow, green, and red ones.

This company also does diamonds made from dog hair, and cremated ashes.

Your hairline is only temporary, but a diamond lasts forever!

Cool i guess. anything is better than supporting wars over diamonds. watch Blood Diamond. it's sad. personally, i'd be happy with a simple gold band. call me crazy but i don't think it's the rock that counts.

Diamonds are crap. They're plentiful. Diamond company's make them valuable by hoarding them. That's what's disgusting, not these diamonds. If you need a real diamond to symbolize your love, you're probably shallow and materialistic. Also, good luck with your marriage, you're going to need it.
