You might give some thought to the value of what is left lying on the floor when you next visit your hairdresser.
In the ‘Roaring Twenties’, when the world was first introduced to the cultured pearl, it threw the pearl industry into total confusion. Now the same thing is happening in the sparkling world of diamonds, with the revolution of cultured diamonds.
It is impossible for professional gemologists to gauge the difference, either physically, chemically, or optically, between a cultured and a natural diamond, as cultured diamonds are of the exact quality as natural diamonds. Both have the same hardness, refraction index, specific gravity and dispersion factor. Both are polished with the same equipment by the same techniques. The only difference is the source.
In Russia, The New Age Diamond company says it can create a cultured diamond from your hair, using the identical means as when diamonds are created through extreme volcanic forces, under the surface of the earth.
Add around 1 gram’s weight of carbon to 1 gram's weight of your hair and put it through a HPHT (high pressure, high temperature)
Fancy colour diamonds are the fasted growing trend in the diamond industry, worldwide. The company offers diamonds that are yellow, green and red in colour, costing around one third the price of a natural diamond.
The company will create diamonds from your new-born baby’s hair, pet dog, cat, horse or rabbit, or even from cremated ashes. A diamond was also formed from an umbilical cord by Phoenix Diamonds. Hair can be collected from two or three different sources.
A U.S. company, VadenBiesen declares it made three diamonds from locks of Beethoven’s hair in 2007 and sold one of them for around $200,000. It says it’s going to make around 10 diamonds from Michael Jackson’s hair.
The first hair diamond was created several years ago, from 40 grams of beard trimmings. It took quite some time to collect the amount need. A 58 faceted, .85 carat diamond was created. A 2.00 carat diamond was the largest stone ever made from hair. It needed around 100 grams of clean hair.
Perhaps the armed forces, or prisons, which specialize in a particular cut of hair, could use all the ‘leftovers’
