How do you think this will effect the world...if at all? Will this be a viable alternative to cremation or burial? Would you do it?


I think it could be a wonderful idea. It's a great way to remember a loved one and have them close to you for eternity. But....as clumsy as I am...I couldn't imagine losing "mom" from a ring. I think that pain would be unbearable.

It might become popular though. The pricing isn't that out of reach for most people. Esp. when compared to burials, funerals, and cremations.

Have you only just heard about this, Belle? They've been doing it for years. I'd be concerned I would lose 'mum' or 'dad' but then again, you could just frame the ring or necklace and leave it at home. It's a nice idea, always being able to have your loved one close to you.:afro:

I'm not really into wearing dead people. Something very Buffalo Bill (was that him) about it. LOL! It's a nice idea. But I think I'll pass. Creamation oogs me out.

It is an interesting idea but I would be afraid of losing it!

I think it is a nice idea. It certainly gives more meaning to the ring, and it is a great way of paying tribute to a loved one. I don't think that I will wear it however. I will frame it or let it be incorporated with a piece of art and put it against the wall, or something in that line.

no. Diamonds are a favorite subject of mine, and I heard about it a few years ago. But, I only heard that they were trying it out. It wasn't ready to go public yet. When I saw the article, I realized that it worked out and now, was an actual option.

I was thinking it would make for an interesting engagement ring.....but, I don't know how many women would get a kick out of wearing "mum in law".

I would be too afraid to lose it.
I wouldn't like wearing my witch in law, I cannot stand what she says about Matt.

[southernbelle]

all the more reason to "lose" it.

"whoops, honey. I lost your mother. heehee"

I don't think I would like wearing my mother in law. :lol: Or even my own mother for that fact.

My dad plays golf and one year he had won one of the biggest amateur golf tournaments in the Mpumalanga Province. The prize was a small statue of "Jock of the Bushveld". There is also a movie about Jock of the Bushveld, very touching. The eye of the statue was a diamond. Oh and if you don't know, Jock was a staffordshire terier, an awesome dog.

If you can maybe do something like that with the diamond it will be great.

I think the idea makes about as much sense as burying people...it's a symbolic act meant more for those "left behind" than it is for those who have passed on.

Constructing a physical totem by which we can remember people seems unnecessary to me. People live on in memory irrespective of any physical object.

Of course you will never forget someone. But think more in the line of great great grand children.

If my mother die today for instance (hope not), my children's children will not know her and maybe something like that will in a way remind them of their history?

Personally I will not do it and feel that any piece of jewelery you inherit can be used to have the same purpose.
