These ain't 'Conflict Diamonds', is they Jacob?

Clifford at Cosmic Variance scrubs the kitchen floor, and returns with this:

This might be old news to some, but did you know that you can get the remains of your loved ones turned into a diamond?! [...]

There is a company (or companies, e.g Life Gem) that does this for you, and sends you a nice piece of jewelry made out of your dearly departed. There are slight variations in colour of the finished product…. depending upon the non-carbon “impurities” (if you pardon the term) associated with the source material. So it is very personalised indeed.

Dr. Johnson does not report the price of the process, so I went and looked. Having the family turned into an heirloom costs between $3,500, for .2-.29 carats, up to $13,000 for .9-.99 carats.
