Cat Diamonds

A BRISTISH women has turned her dead pet into a black one-third-of-a-carat diamond with the help of a US firm.

The diamond was set into a gold ring so the cat could stay with the women, Sue Rogers forever.

Costing a staggering 2000 pounds the US firm, LifeGem took the cat's ashes and created the diamond by extracting 2 grams of carbon from the 100 grams of ashes.

The carbon was placed in a diamond press where it was exposed to temperatures of 3000 degress and placed under one million pounds of pressure for two weeks.

The elderly women wanted the diamond to match Sooty's jet-black colour so the company had to create a new technique to accomplish it.

Once the diamond has grown the gem was placed under electrons for 24 hours, which changed the colour from clear to black.

The result was a stunning sight, a diamond cut and polished set in a gold band and surrounded by white diamonds to look like a flower.

"When Sooty died I was shocked because she was only 11-years-old and hadn't been ill or anything. It just happened very suddenly, Telegraph quoted Sue, as saying.
