| | QUOTE The LifeGemŽ is a certified, high-quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life.
It is jewel that is created from the ashes of a deceased person, to help remember them. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I just read about it today & thought I'd share it.
Here is a link to the website: http://lifegem.com/ |

Now I've seen everything! This looks like some kind of marketing scheme to sell more diamonds. Don't you think? I mean this is the worst idea since the taxidermy was thought out. How can one person place a price of another person's life--not along carrying them around in his/her jewelry? I'm not bashing the idea of keeping the memory of the loved ones, but the people who came up with this idea to exploit their sorrow in the name of almighty money. Stick a fork in me, god, because I'm done and have seen everything and I'm ready to die in peace.  Good grief... I couldn't figure out the process which cremated ashes are to be fused with the diamond. If the whole diamond is made from carbon ashes then it's not a real natural diamond. That means it will depreciate over the periods of time. Then, it's not actually an investment over the life time (as the website claims) but simply carrying around an urn, a very expensive urn in pretty enclosure. HA! And what would happen if someone decides to pawn that diamond? Yuck! I hate to be the one who purchase dead person's diamond with the dead inside.

Indeed, on the moral side, i think it's very wrong to like, "Well, your son's ashes will cost ***$ money..", or even worse carrying the "diamond" out like a normal jewelry item.. I've saw everything too.. geez. Of course that's just my opinion.

Wow...Who would carry it around as jewlry? I doubt anyone would want to. All they want to do is make more and more and MORE money untill they suck the saps dry. And yes as SM said it would deteriorate over time because its not really made from a rock, its made of dead people....wow...That would be scary to have in a house, the body of a dead person compacted into a gem. You toss the gem onto the floor and see it at the foot of your bed at night....Perfect horror movie...

soylent transparent? That just popped into my head. The idea's been around for a while - I think i read something about it in Odessy 2061 or 3001 (Arthur C Clarke), where they had a big hemispherical room with diamonds in the ceiling, arranged in the pattern of the stars. And if you though the lifegem was bad, you can also get teensy little sealed vials on a necklace - filled with your partner's body fluids of choice. Yay?

Me, turned into a jewel? I am not sure what to say...except... Are you saying that the diamond/jewel I could be looking at in a display counter at a store, *gasp* could have been an actual person?...

Is it just me, or does that just really disturb some people! I want to go 6 feet under like normal, I don't want to see myself on someone's finger/neck/ear! Taking a consensus of my friends in class next to me, 5/5 find the idea of this disturbing, although one of them had the first response of "which relative"

How bizarre! I'm not sure I'd want to wear this ring/become a ring. It would be quite odd if someone asked you about it, and you explained that it is actually the ashes of a loved one. To each his own, I suppose.

that is really really sick, someone you love dies so you turn him/her to jewerly? there must be something wrong with the people who thought of this, probably weren't held by their moms as babies.

Well......................just to be different for the fun of it..... Say a woman had a husband that was lazy, obnoxious, mean, spiteful and just a pain in the *bottom* and treated her like crap threw their entire marriage. When the old goat finally kicks the bucket, she could turn him into somthing pretty and nice to flaunt around, saying she finally found a use for him.

Just think of becoming a diamond like it's part of your organ donor agreement. Your remains are still technically used for science. What I don't understand is the difference between synthetic diamond and cubic zirconia. I thought they were the same thing. DeBeers has a monopoly on diamonds. They own nearly all the diamond mines and they're full of diamonds, but they only release a very minimal amount each year, which is why they are so expensive. It's all the laws of supply and demand. I wouldn't mind being turned into a diamond. It's not like I'd feel anything, since I'd be deceased during the process. My concern is that I wouldn't want to turn up in the wrong hands. For example, what if I get stolen and put in a pawn shop? And then someone buys me not knowing what I am?

Disturbing thought for jewelry being a dead person. Possibility a good concept to think of, but it's just wrong to sell your love one or someone just to carry on your hand, neck, or earring. It won't make you feel better or brining that person back. The site looks legitimated and I find it very fraud.

Kudos to Wanton Rhapsody for that really-long explanation on how hypocritical we can be at times.  I really liked how you compared ordinary mementos like pictures, heirlooms, and whatnot to the Lifegem. I still think that the Lifegem is a rather exorbitant purchase, especially if you still have to come up with the dough to bury some of the remains, the casket, etc. On the family's end, I think that it would be okay to keep someone's ashes as a Lifegem. What's it matter? In all practicality, they're dead. Unless it was in a dying wish or will, I don't think they'd mind just as long as you don't do anything absurdly disrespectful (and that's really just on your conscience). Personally, I don't care what my family does with my body. As long as it doesn't cost them a fortune to get rid of me, I'll be fine with that. (Although having my ashes spread around the world would be kind of neat, plus it would give someone an excuse for a road trip.)

Yeah, this is really disturbing. I wouldn't want to be turned into a diamond. But I guess some people think that's good. I don't know
