So, today I have what some folks may consider a morbid bit of technology for you. This picture features a memorial diamond, though it is just one style of many.What is a memorial diamond? Basically, it is a diamond made from the ashes of your loved ones, should they choose to get cremated.
Death is a touchy subject for a lot of people, especially when it is the death of someone you love. I, for one, am ridiculously close to my parents, both of whom have expressed an interest in being cremated. Usually in such cases, ashes are either buried or placed in an urn, which is in turn put in a place of pride in your home.
With the LifeGem Memorial Diamond -- and with other companies which do similar work -- you can still do that, but you can also take a portion of your loved one's remains and have it made into a diamond, which is then set into a ring -- or a necklace, or bracelet, or any other piece of jewelry you fancy, I would imagine.
This may not be a piece of technology made to help humankind, it may not be the most helpful invention. However, there are a lot of people out there who dread the thought of being parted by the people they love most, and I just think that something like this gives you a way to memorialize them and keep them close to you forever. And I, for one, quite fancy that idea.
