Lab Growns from Ashes of LA Wildfires
March 13, 25
(IDEX Online) - A lab grown company in the US will present three victims of the devastating Los Angeles fires with a diamond created from the ashes of their home.
Eterneva, based in Austin, Texas, specializes in turning the ashes of a beloved relative or pet into a diamond (priced at $15,000 for a one-carat colorless).
The Southern California wildfires in January claimed at least 29 lives and destroyed 18,000 homes and other buildings.
In response the company has launched its Embers to Diamonds: LA Homes Remembered initiative, urging the public to nominate a victim left homeless by the fires.
"Our hope with this tribute is to preserve and celebrate the spirit of these cherished spaces forever," the company said.
