I know I don't post often here in FYM, and I wasn't even really sure which forum to post this in...I first heard about this on tv tonite, and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I don't think I'd ever do it for a loved one, first off I usually tend to lose my rings or jewelry, and I dunno if it seems kinda morbid or not to be wearing something like that as a peice of jewelry. :shrug:

"A LifeGem is a certified, high quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique and wonderful life.

The LifeGem diamond is more than a memorial to visit on the weekends? it is a way to embrace your loved one's memory day by day. The LifeGem is the most unique and timeless memorial available for creating a testimony to their unique life."
 
I just could not imagine walking around with my Dad on my finger...or saying "oh no...I lost grampa!"
 
I dont think I would like to put my loved ones in a bezel set, or want to really wear as an engagement ring, the carbon of someone's loved one.

Quite bizarre. And they are so expensive!
 
I just saw that they have this for animals - they make a crystal that includes some of the remains, can put it in a pendant or ring or just have soemthing like a paperweight :crazy: I was at a conference looking around at booths and i stopped at one and the lady put one of these things in my hand before i knew what it was, kinda creepy :huh:
 
The first thing I thought of when I heard about this was it will only be a matter of time before some :censored: tries to sell one of these gems made from their deceased relative's remains on Ebay.

The whole idea of these gems is extremely creepy.
 
That's really weird. I couldn't imagine wearing anyone on my finger/around my neck. Imagine wearing your mother..it'd be like she's following you around all the time, watching every move you make.

I think thw whole idea is kinda odd. Mind you, I don't like the idea of urns either/keeping ashes. But that's just me.

I don't see how people can let go of the past/of the dead when they're still so closely associated w/ them.
