The One Where You Dead Relatives Can Be Jewelry
Whoa. Anyone hear about this? Some company is manufacturing jewelry that is made from cremated ashes.
"[LifeGem] uses super-hot ovens to transform [cremated] ashes to graphite and then presses the stone into blue and yellow diamonds that retail for anywhere from 2,700 to 20,000 dollars."
It's one thing to use you're great-grandmother's antique ring to propose to your girlfriend, but to use your great-grandmother's actual remains ... well, there's something entirely wrong about that.
