I've had occasion over the years to comment on how we pamper our pets. Both here and in the hereafter, with fancy tombs and rituals we don't even lavish on our grandparents. Among them things like turning their ashes into concrete and using them as a fake reef or even freeze-drying them into a non-taxidermied but still permanent object to have around the house.
All expensive options to be sure, but if you don't feel that's enough, you now have an option with even more pizzazz. Turn your pet into bling.
DNA2Diamond has a gem of a solution. Transform your pet into a diamond. They've already done it for human cremains but have recently found a growing and lucrative market for pet crystallizing.
From freeze-drying to crystals. It's like they're finally utilizing all that incredible instant coffee technology from the 60s.
DNA2Diamond basically takes the carbon from Fido's ashes and superheats and pressurizes it into an artificial man-made diamond. Or a man's-best-friend-made diamond. Bonus, the company says you don't actually have to wait for your pet to die. No, they won't put your whole pet in the machine alive. They use clumps of fur or feathers to do the deed.
The whole idea makes a certain sense. They say a diamond lasts forever, so why not Fifi? You could even have the diamond set in one of those expensive jeweled collars your precious Little Caesar is already wearing. And then pass the collar on to your next puppy and so on. The circle of life.
So I guess I get it with pets. But I'm interested in DNA2Diamond's claim that they've been doing this with human remains for a long time. One last charm for the charm bracelet you inherited from Granny?
And it is Granny?
America, ya gotta love it.
