Did you ever know that diamond can also be extracted literally from your deceased pet’s ashes or a lock of its hair? This is freaky and sounds very unbelievable. However, a company called DNA2Diamonds comes up with a weird way of creating this sparkling gem out of your deceased pet. This requires a long process though.
All you need to do is to submit a DNA sample of your deceased pet to the company. They will then go through a series of procedures such as; extracting carbon from the sample, adding the carbon to a real diamond seed, which is then placed to an incubator so that it grows. After going through all the necessary procedures, the stone is finally cut and is closely examined by the Gemological Institute of America before it is packaged and sent to you.

Expect Romain Jerome to come up with the most exotic designs and concepts for the conventional accessory we call the watch. Well, that’s no exaggeration for we do know that the luxury brand has given us time pieces made from the wreckage of the Titanic. Boy, didn’t they just blow our minds away! And now, they are going a step further with the Titanic-DNA collection.
A high-end skeleton timepiece, this new watch is really referred to as the rusted steel T-oxy III Skeleton Chronograph Tourbillon. And it enjoys a bold and powerful design. For starters, the diameter is from 50mm to 53 mm. The screw-in crown equips the watch with interchangeable horns along with a push button, which is a pattern running through all the Titanic-DNA timepieces.

We have just the thing in mind for you in case you have run out of gift ideas. They call it the DNA 11 and we call it futuristic. Well to start with, this item does something that would have never crossed the minds of most people. As bizzare as it may sound, it offers the perfect blend of art, technology, beauty and popuar culture.
Yep as the name suggests, the company will create a portrait on a gorgeous ultra-modern glass frame using your DNA. This can be coloured to match your decor. So, once you place the order, DNA 11 will send you a kit that includes swabs for the DNA sample from your cheek. The user is supposed to send it to the company in order to enjoy a DNA portrait in 4-6 weeks time.
