From dust you came, but when you die, they can use your cremated remains to make jewelry:
In fact, there's enough carbon in those ashes to make about 20 gems. And there will still be several pounds of ashes left over to display on the mantlepiece.
So far, nobody's ordered more than 11 diamonds, said Dean VandenBiesen, vice-president of operations for LifeGem, which uses super-hot ovens to transform ashes to graphite and then presses the stone into blue and yellow diamonds that retail for anywhere from US$2,700 (RM10,260) to US$20,000.
