Hmm...in one I can see why this is a cool idea, in another...kinda creepy.
I wont lie...I wouldnt completely object to it.
Imagine getting the ring, being low on cash and having to hock grandma at the corner pawn shop.
i Actually like this idea!
I don't know......it sort of creeps me out.
I'm with you, StockardFan.
Gemstones made from dead relatives weirds me.

Though how much would grandma really go for. I mean, technically isn't she really a cubic zirconia?

Diamonds = carbon
Gramma = carbon based life form
Gramma + heat + pressure = diamond
No CZ (ZrO2 +a stabilizing mineral) in the equation.

Ok, I guess I'm clearly still in that old mindset where "lab created diamond" was just a fancy way of trying to cover up the fact that it was a cubic zirconia (or some other simulated diamond).
I saw a something similar with dead pets a few years ago.
Apparently, someone in my area has started an art business creating paintings from ashes. I wish I were joking.
