Ashes to diamonds a precious souvenir from loved ones

one of the powerful traits of the human species is love, love towards parents, spouse, children even animals, from past 1000's of years humans have been experimenting with innovative ways to try to remember their deceased and loved ones in one or the other form form Egyptians and Mexicans building pyramids and mummifying their loved ones to constructing the monuments like Taj mahal and, in mahabartha age old epic there is a account of shakuni making dice from the bones of his father which played a significiant role in the epic, and recently even blasting them to deep space etc and you can see stuffed animals and birds which are few centuries old, what ever it is this is the human way to show tribute to their loved ones....

did you know there are few companies that can turn ashes, hairs and other biological remains of deceased people from the cremation into diamonds? while reading one of the magazine recently i came to know about that there are ways to convert ashes into synthetic diamond which is almost similar to original diamond in brilliance, purity and strength as some say "Diamonds are forever" will really holds good here.

these diamonds are said to cost from 1500$ to 20,000$ depending on the size, color and company by which they are produced and from cremation to finished stone, takes up to six months for yellow diamonds and up to nine months for blue diamonds and it is said that up to 100 diamonds can be made from the remains of one individual

though there are few companies that offer memorial diamonds but lifegem is one company that are specializing in producing diamonds from deceased individuals...

lifegem is said to have served more than 1000 people and created a lifegem of celebrities such as Ludwig van Beethoven and Micheal Jackson hairs purchased from pepsi soon to become diamonds to know more about the process and other information you can visit their official website Here

guys what do you think on the idea of diamondizing the loved ones as the ornament ?

Have you heard of DNA2Diamonds? Their cremation jewelry is different from anything I’ve seen. They create certified, one-of-a-kind, fancy colored diamonds from a lock of hair or cremated ashes. They have a special on a half carat red heart shaped diamond now for Valentine's Day - it's stunning! I think it’s a unique and beautiful way to keep your loved ones close to you.
