Adelle Archer, co-f0under of Eterneva, allows the remembrance of past loved ones to live on. If you have ever lost a beloved friend, family member, or pet, you can relate to Adelle’s story. She realized that there are not a lot of good memorial options after she lost someone very close and special to her, so she created Eterneva. As more and more people in the U.S. begin to get cremated, Adelle wanted to give people a better way to eternalize their loved ones and celebrate their lives, so she created real diamonds from the carbon in ashes. The diamonds are made into jewelry like rings and necklaces, customized to your loved one. Behind every diamond made is a beautiful story of someone or a pet.
Adelle has shown the drive of an entrepreneur. Her company was named Consumer Startup of the Year by the Stevie Awards, featured on Shark Tank, featured on both Inc and Forbes coveted ’30 Under 30′ lists. As an entrepreneur, she recognizes that there are many ideas floating throughout her mind all day, and it’s hard to keep track of them all, so she resulted to journaling every morning, and advises others do that as well. Along with that, she advises younger entrepreneurs to lean into community early, nothing is done by yourself. I think this is great advice, it aligns with Grove City and what we implement as well, community is so important!
Adelle is such an inspiration to me! She provides so much great information and I really love the idea of Eterneva. She went through something tragic, but like someone who has an entrepreneurial mind, found a problem and made something good come out of it. I’m a jewelry person and would definitely invest in a diamond from her company and would recommend this to many others.
This is a really cool concept. Creating something beautiful out of loss is really inspiring and intriguing to me. I also love the advice she gives to young entrepreneurs to write ideas down constantly and be surrounded by creative people that will make you better.
It’s so impressive that Adelle won the Consumer Startup of the Year competition and was the owner of Shark Tank. I think it’s pretty obvious that she, like many other entrepreneurs, was willing to make her own path and opportunities.
I definitely relate to not remembering certain ideas that I come up with throughout the day. I think journaling sounds like a great practice to make good use of the time and ideas that we come across.
Ultimately though I think her business speaks to her desire to be intentional with caring for our loved ones and in how we remember them. I think that’s a super admirable quality to have.
Adelle’s business is really meaningful. Losing a loved one is never easy, and her creative way of turning ashes into personalized diamonds is so endearing. I appreciate that she gave out advice on ways to cope with grief, especially her advice on embracing community support. As someone who also appreciates jewelry, I would definitely consider investing in a piece.
