As a hairdresser, no doubt you’ve experienced women in your chair who have had to say a painful goodbye to their hair due to the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
Designed to empower those fighting and survivors, Sky and Livi, a unique personal diamond jewelry company, has found a way to convert a lock of hair into a lab-created diamond.
“Our company exists to transform a heartbreaking circumstance into an uplifting experience, creating a symbol of strength and beauty,” says founder Anjanette Sinesio. “A woman’s diamond, fashioned into a beautiful pendant, acts as a tool and symbol of her endurance and victory.”
Anjanette Sinesio founded Sky and Livi in 2012 to offer a service and product that helps bring light, beauty, hope and inspiration to the otherwise dark space a woman can find herself in while facing the side effects of cancer treatments.
The company is named after Sinesio’s nieces, Skyler and Olivia, who inspire her daily. Sinesio strives to be a positive role model for both Skyler and Olivia, much like her Aunt Barbara, who lost her battle with cancer, was for her. By drawing upon her own expertise, Sinesio developed an inventive way for those undergoing cancer treatments by taking a small lock of their hair and using it to create a carbon profile that, through a detailed scientific process, forms a real and beautiful laboratory-created personal diamond.
