Widow Grows Diamond From Husband's Ashes
19 Jun
Summary
- Amanda Kloots created a diamond from her late husband's ashes.
- The 5-carat black diamond turns blue in the light.
- The ring's setting ensures the diamond constantly touches her skin.
Amanda Kloots recently shared a deeply personal tribute to her late husband, Broadway actor Nick Cordero. She has incorporated a portion of his ashes into a unique piece of jewelry.
Over the course of a year, Kloots worked with a specialized company to transform Cordero's ashes into a stunning 5-carat emerald-cut black diamond. This diamond is now set in a ring designed by EF Collection Fine Jewelry.
The setting is particularly meaningful, as it ensures the diamond remains in constant contact with Kloots' skin. Additionally, Cordero's initials are engraved on the underside of the ring, serving as a perpetual reminder of their connection.
Cordero passed away in July 2020 from COVID-19, leaving Kloots to raise their young son, Elvis, as a single mother. Kloots has spoken openly about the challenges of navigating grief and raising her child, anticipating future moments when Elvis will more deeply process his father's death.
