Make diamonds out of the dead with Life Gem

lifegem.jpg

Want a piece of music history to wear around on your finger? I'm not talking about a ring made out of one of ZZ Top's guitar strings, no sir. I'm talking about real music history. A company called Life Gem is making three diamonds out of DNA taken from Beethoven's hair, allowing a few lucky people to walk around with literally a piece of the famous composer on their hands. Creepy.

The company can also make diamonds out of less famous corpses, allowing you to carry around a piece of your departed loved one in bling form forever and ever. Or at least until you croak and get turned into a diamond. It's the circle of life! Prices range from $3,500 to about $25,000, so start saving now while your future jewelry is still alive.

Kanu Asodaria from Karam Exports, Surat India got this 182.53 carat diamond about 10 years ago from Antwerp, Belgium. The stone with outlines of a trunk, eyes, ears and even legs was mined from South Africa.
