And just how long will it be before some guy turns his late wife into a engagement ring for wifey number two?
I’m repulsed yet intrigued.
Or other forms of Heirloom Jewelry possibly involving generations of diamonds…
Should I apply for trademarks now…
I found the Life Gems site about a year ago and told my now husband that if I die young I want him to have me made into a ring and when he remarries, the new wife has to wear me.
“Oh what a beautiful ring”
“Thanks…it is my husbands dead wife.”
“How sweet. He lets you wear a piece of her jewelry.”
“No really…it is her.”
“Ummm”
Adds a new twist to the phrase “family jewels”.
Someone with as poor a grasp of grammer as myself really shouldn’t do this, but…
[Nitpick]
“No, really…it is she”
[/Nitpick]
Where are the sticking-out-the-tongue smilies? 
I can’t believe no one’s done this yet:
Soylent Diamond …is…People!
On the one hand, it seems a lovely gesture.
On the other hand, it creeps me right out.
Still, I like jewelry, so being jewelry would be cool. I mean, as long as I can’t be made into a book.
This is a WONDERFUL idea!
…does she have to be dead first?
Wow! Maybe diamonds have some value after all . . .
But…
I still wanna leave my pelt as a bear-skin rug for my best beloved.
You know, I saw this post and didn’t look at the poster… I half expected it to be QuickSilver
…
WIFE #1: I’m not dead!
JEWELER: Here! She says she’s not quite dead!
INIGO: Yes, she is.
JEWELER: She isn’t.
INIGO: Well, she will be soon, she’s very ill.
WIFE #1: I’m getting better!
INIGO: No, you’re not – you’ll be stone dead in a moment.

I’ve always liked yellow diamonds. They go so well with white gold and fair skin.
