Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons’ ex-wife Kimora Lee Simmons wants to honor her late dog by turning the pet’s remains into a diamond. The Baby Phat model and fashion designer is in mourning after 18-year-old bitch Zoe’s recent death. But she is contemplating celebrating Zoe’s life with a new piece of jewelry.

She tells People.com, “You have to… grieve. It’s okay to take time and say this meant something to my life and (to) honor it. “There is a company that makes diamonds out of your loved ones. They make diamonds from a little of the carbon from the ash, so I might do that. I might turn her into a diamond.”
