Caught this over at Angry Ballerina's Place, and according to the LifeGem website, those beauties you see above were once people.
The LifeGem® is a certified, high-quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life.Yes, you can send them your loved one's ashes and they'll make it into a diamond. Ooh, and not to leave out the buried folks, they also accept human hair. So technically you can grow out your own hair, have a diamond made of you and wear it yourself. I guess if you put it that way, it's kind of hot.
Love. Life’s single greatest risk. Life’s single greatest reward. Love captures your heart in a second and holds it for eternity.
You have experienced a love without equal. You have had someone truly special in your life and mere words simply will not do.
As far as the dead bodies into gems, I think it's kind of sad (read the testimonials). When we lose loved ones, it is the memories, the stories that carry on their legacy long after they're dead; to turn loss into a "thing" - in my opinion - is to miss the point, to covet the uncovetable, and hopelessly grasp at the intangible through a false attempt at manifestation.
Now the LifeGem for pets -- no, that's.... I'm going to crawl up in a corner for a while.

I still don't know what to think of that....part of me wants a new rock, and the other part thinks it's a little rude to ask my sister for our moms ashes so i can get a new piece of jewelry.....so torn.......
