Are Eterneva’s diamonds certified?

Yes, every Eterneva diamond is graded by a GIA-certified gemologist at our Kerrville facility, ensuring the highest standards of quality.

Chain of Custody & Authenticity

How does Eterneva track my loved one’s ashes during the process?

We use a strict chain of custody with unique ID numbers and digital tracking through Salesforce. This ensures ashes, carbon, and diamonds are all accounted for at every stage of the journey.

Pet Memorialization

Can you really make a diamond from my pet's ashes or fur?

Yes. Dogs, cats, horses, and other pets. Ashes and fur both contain carbon, and carbon is what a diamond is made of. We extract the carbon from what you send, purify it, and grow a real diamond from it. Your pet's carbon is distributed throughout the entire finished diamond. Nearly half of the diamonds we grow are for pets.

Getting Started

How do I start the diamond journey?

It starts with ordering a welcome kit, which includes everything you need to send us ashes or hair. From there, we’ll guide you step-by-step. Let’s begin this beautiful journey together. ❤️
