Dead pets give birth to diamond ring
LONDON (AFP) - Sue Rogers will never be without her dead dogs and cat after having a diamond ring made from their ashes.
Rogers, from Devon paid 3,200 pounds for the ring made from carbon extracted from the ashes of Lucky, an old English sheepdog, a golden retriever cross called Sam and a tom cat, Patch, a newspaper said Saturday.
"I am delighted with my ring as it means I can have my pets with me at all times," Rogers told the Daily Mail newspaper.
"My animals meant the world to me and even though they are gone they are still with me. It's a beautiful ring and such a brilliant idea."
Rogers, 44, had previously kept the ashes of her pets on her mantelpiece until she learnt of LifeGem UK, which makes diamonds from the remains of humans and pets.
A small amount of carbon from each set of ashes was heated at temperatures of 3,000 degrees Celsius to help make a rough diamond.
The stone was then polished and certified before being set in a gold band.

Re: Dead pets give birth to diamond ring
What about:
I bet that ring would fetch a nice price.
OR
That ring looks purrrrrfect!
OR
It looks nice, but the edges appear to be a little ruff.
Oh man, this stuff almost writes itself!!

Re: Dead pets give birth to diamond ring
3,200 pounds sounds like a pretty good deal for a diamond. What is that, 8 or 9,000 dollars? I am wondering how big it was. I was horrified at how much they were asking for diamonds when I was out to get my wife's wedding ring. I really tried to talk her into some thing that actually was rare and had some value, like a Ruby or and Emerald, but no, she like most all other wives have bought into the Debeers, Diamond propaganda. I looked at the Synthetic but they are hard to find in this area...
